Does tranexamic acid work?
Hi guys. I've had an ablation, and it failed. I had the mirena, and I had 2 rounds of the depo injection and I'm still bleeding so so bad. 2 periods a month now on average, so I'm finally on the list for a hysterectomy. Doctor has now put me on tranexamic acid in the hope that it will help. Last month

kidney stones??
for the last week or so I have been suffering with intermittent severe sharp pains in the area of my right kidney. No warning and happens around 5 to 10 times each day. Never while I’m lying down, sometimes when I stand up or turn while sitting and sometime when I’m standing and bend. It’s very painful

Dental work and AA
I am having a tooth implant done this week, on Wednesday. The surgeon knows I take Alendronic Acid and has advised to not take it on the morning of the procedure. He also said it was okay to take (should take?) a 3 month holiday from Alendronic Acid. Have you heard of that? The procedure involves drilling

Medication
I have a doctor appointment to discuss increasing my medication & possibly take a sleep aid. I’m currently taking 20 MG of Escitalopram but have not tried a sleep aid. I’m really nervous about my appointment tomorrow.

Magnesium and the heart
I stopped taking my magnesium supplement (not prescribed) about a month ago in the hope that my persistent morning diarrhoea would clear up. It hasn't. But I have noticed, on my Fitbit records, that my sleep quality has gone right down, my resting heart rate has increased from 60 to 72, and my heart

Severe bleeding and high blood pressure on Tibolone
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms to what I’m having. I was started on Tibolone 5 weeks ago as an add back to Prostap SR while waiting for surgery 2 weeks ago I started bleeding heavily with massive clots. I called the consultant immediately but he was off. I spoke to

PMR/Prednisolone/Alendronic Acid
Thank you all for your posts and will now try to reduce even more slowly. !5 mg of Prednisolone was not enough, so have now increased to 17.5mg and are again keeping fingers crossed. Would welcome views on long term (nearly 5 years) usage of Alendronic acid (I am male 79 years old) as I think that in

Osteoporosis treatment
I have recently been diagnosed with PBC and am taking 1000mg ursodeoxycholic acid daily. I just had a routine bone density done and it resulted that I have osteopenia in my hips and osteoporosis in my spine. Doctor prescribed 2 Osteocare daily plus Bisphosphonate Acid once I have a bill of good dental

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Weight gain and osteoporosis
I am in great discomfort because I have developed severe osteoporosis in the spine. I have compression fractures in three areas of the thoracic spine (T10, T11 and T12) and one area of the lumbar spine ( L1). I was diagnosed with GCA in September 2022 and have been on high doses of steroids until very

I figured out how to tolerate antibiotics (trimethoprim in this case) without huge neuropathic pain flare!! (for real this time!)
I've been posting about this on and off all year trying to get some answers. Anyway, I'll keep it short. I've been unable to tolerate Trimethoprim or Doxycycline without the both causing unbearable neuropathic pain (burning, stinging, tingling, etc). I tried multiple times and failed to continue after

Awful day
So yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been bleeding almost constantly since February. I’ve been on zoladex and now Prostap for 18 months. No improvement, in fact seems worse on Prostap. I get the letter no one wants, your smear test is due. Oh great can’t do that in my state. But

Risedronate Update
Having had a long break after stopping Alendronic Acid, I started Risedronate on 2nd June 23. For the first few weeks I was fine. No noticeable side effects. (After the terrible time with AA you can appreciate I was overjoyed.) However about 3 weeks ago the same symptoms started creeping back.

Night sweats etc.
I am tapering down from 30mg pred since April 2022 and I am now down to 3mg (4mg alternate days). I am finding I am having a lot of night sweats. Has anyone found else had this problem and if so how long it lasts for? I have to add that I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and didn't know
