GCA Sufferers Please be BMA (Be More Aware - than me!)
I have been a GCA sufferer for over ten years (6 months of Polymyalgia). And I have made mistakes - and sometimes - I just haven't been told or been made aware of important factors. Hands up for the following: 1 Did you know that you are safe if you chose to sit tight on your level of prednisolone proving

Bleeding non stop after bfn for 5MONTHS

Dexa Scan
I requested a referral for a dexa scan from my GP as Alendronic Acid has caused me nasty side effects possibly due to having irritable bowel issues. I have just been informed that there is an eight month waiting list. Is this waiting time normal in the UK? Would appreciate some feedback please.

BLEEDING NON STOP
Hiya ladies...... I am so stressed out and scared. After my failed 3rd cycle in January, my period has taken a bad turn with heavy clots and bleeding lasting about 18 days. My Gynecologist said it’s due to the hormonal drug that it will come back to normal. It’s been the same which is appalling. I can

Alendronic acid
Hi I have two very conflicting reports on AA. I was prescribed it whilst on 5mg pred some 4 months or so ago. I didn’t take it as dentists threw their arms up in horror! I took their advice as I was having implants and have one other bout to go through. This morning my doctor told me I must take

Bisphosphonates and Afib
Due to breast cancer 20 months ago which was estrogen positive I have to take Anastrozole which is a AI (aromatase inhibitor). This can deplete bone density quickly hence I had to have a dexa scan which found I had osteoporosis. Due to this I was prescribed Alendronic Acid which had awful side effects

Lap came back normal, what now?
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. I've had problems with my period for years and years now (I'm 26) and have tried various treatments. The pill/mini pill gave me terrible side effects, the mirena coil didn't work, various painkillers including Diclofenac, Mefenamic acid, Naproxen

Mefanamic acid, painkillers and advice about moving area
Hiya, I changed GP recently and last week rang to get my repeat prescriptions of stemetil and mefanamic acid which I take to treat some of my symptoms when they are bad. I also have just run out of co-codomal which I was given since my pain had got so bad and I'm on waiting waiting waiting lists. I don't

Alendrotnic acid
Is it really wise my GP has prescribed again Alendronic acid to my 84 year old mum who has a big hiatus hernia & had major bowel surgery last year? She weighs 6 stone and can only eat small diet due to severe nausea & sickness. She was first prescribed this 12 yrs ago 7 couldn't tolerate then.

Medication or not?
Hi all I have just received the results of my DEXA scan taken after a fracture of my wrist 4 months ago and have been diagnosed with osteoporosis . I fell on ice and cracked it, I think anyone would have had a fracture under such circumstances, I went such a crash! My scores are -2.9 for spine and -2.5
