Query relating to Alendronic Acid
HI all, I took Alendronic Acid for 2 years after prolonged courses of prednisolone in 2016, only finding out more about it after starting the treatment. Last year I had increasing gastric upset and did not want to add proton pump inhibitors to my list of meds and I also had dental problems (resolved

In November 2016 after a Bone density scan I was diagnosed as Osteopenic. My doctor prescribed alendronate daily. After my BD scan in Nov 2017 my bone density had increased and was told to continue with what I was doing...good diet, Calcium and Vit D, Pilates 2x weekly and alendronate. My next BD scan

Vitamins and Minerals
I am 4 weeks into my Pred, currently at 15mg and about to drop to 12.5 tomorrow. I refused to take Alendronic Acid mainly because of the terrible potential side effects, and have decided to up my Vitamin and Mineral levels. At the moment I take Calcium, Vitamin D3, Magnesium and K2 plus a general multivitamin

Energenesis
Here is a new supplement which has most of everything that isn’t a vitamin or mineral in it.

Agitated sleep
Hi everyone, I need ideas/advice to cope with my husband’s agitated sleep. He clasps and unclasps his hand and rubs constantly and rocks the boat which wakes me up. Or he rubs his face so hard he has red marks in the morning. I’m not sure about giving him a sleep aid or cbd oil: what have you experienced

Tranexamic Acid?
I have been given this by the doctors today, I take it and half an hour later I seem to be really sleepy and out of it. Anyone else experience this whilst on the meds?

Tapering following new PMR diagnosis
Hi, so glad I found this wonderful forum, I've learned so much in the past 2 weeks. My question concerns tapering and levels of pain that can be "ignored". I am 70 years old and until the middle of March was a fit walker, gardener and could still reach to cut my own toenails. I was lucky enough to

Steroid injection for OA in shoulder
I experienced severe pain in shoulder at 8mg of Pred, and increasing dose had no affect. An X-ray showed bone on bone OA. I continued with taper now on 7mg. and shoulder pain has virtually gone. I think it flared up with too much use on recent holiday, and existing conditions do tend to assert themselves

Dreaded AA again !
I do not understand why Alendronic acid is still being prescribed. Having been diagnosed with osteoporosis, I took it for about 6 years which is now known to be far too long. As a result I sustained fractures in both femurs, a year apart, both now pinned but definitely stated as caused by AA. I

Itchy Scalp for months - slightly hair thinning but no visible scalp issues.
For the last 5 months, I have been suffering from an itchy scalp, primarily on the crown of my head. This happened essentially overnight and after scratching for a day, I coincidentally saw that my hair had thinned slightly in those itchiest areas by the next day. I went to see a General Practioner a

Temazepan or OTC sleep aid?
