What is my fracture risk?
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last November and prescribed Alendronic Acid. I was slow to begin taking it, wanting to understand the risks and benefits etc. But I wasn't told what my risk of fracture is? The report I was sent shows T scores and Z scores but not the risk of fracture.Has anyone else

Alendronic Acid
I have reduced my Prednisolone to 3 ml a day, I was thinking of stopping my weekly intake of Alendronic acid, but I first of all contacted my GP. She has responded by saying that I should stay on it for five years. I have been on it for 15 months. What are your thoughts on stopping Alendronic Acid.

A bit of cheer when we need it.
A bit off topic, but I'm so chuffed at having self published my third book! I'm not bothered about sales, just a few reviews and the sense of achievement through all my dark days of bad consultations, taper/flare yoyos, etc. Stuck at 10 mgs Pred currently and still resisting MTX & Zoledronic acid

Possible Endometriosis?
Hi all, first post here. have been struggling with a lot of ongoing, chronic bowel, bladder and pelvic symptoms for many years, which have worsened recently after going through a particularly stressful time. My periods have usually been on the heavier side, but would always last around 7 - 8 days

Mixed feelings following first GP appointment since PMR diagnosis
Started on 20mg prednisolone mid June, four weeks later reduced to 17.5 mg for four weeks, no problems, reduced to 15mg last Friday. By Monday the pain was back and I was very breathless; when I saw GP face to face, two days ago I was told to go back to 17.5 for two weeks and then try again. I raised

Well I'll be damned!
Well, as a follow up to my post 3 weeks ago, I had my Rheumy appt. this morning. She spent ages with me. I told her all my woes, and she thoroughly examined me. I must've have yelped loudly about 20 times 😖 She went through all of my symptoms one by one and said she had come to the conclusion

No Alendronic Acid!
So this month's prescription for Alendronic Acid hadn't been done very -unusual for our very efficient pharmacy. Pharmacist explained to me that there is a national shortage and there just isn't any to be had -he has emailed the surgery to request the alternative ibandronate, but they haven't got

Alendronic Acid
My liver guy has prescribed Alendronic Acid following my DEXA scan. I'm pissed off as I really thought I had calcium covered. I'm a fussy vegetarian that practically lives off cheese on toast and milkshakes ! Most of the stuff I've read on the web refers to osteoporosis in menopausal women, so I'm looking

Alendronate (alendronic acid)
We've heard that some people are having problems getting alendronic acid 70mg tablets. This is because some companies that make these tablets have run out of stock. This shortage may last until September 2022.
If you usually take alendronate tablets
If you can't get your usual tablets, speak

Update(My Experience): Day 21 after Circumcision Fully Healed: Fast Healing: Removed my Stitches: Foreign Body
Please, don't do as I did, please visit your GP for advice. The reason I could tell there was something wrong with my cut is that all my wounds heal so so fast. Straight into it, I am doing so well actually. Amazingly well. But this is how I managed to accelerate my healing. What happened was that

Massive anxiety flare just before period is about to start because I am soo worried about the pain.
So I have suffered with Endo and Adeno symptoms for like past 15/16 years and unfortunately am no stranger to being in pain because of it. However, over the last few months / periods, the pain has become soo much worse...which I didn't even think was possible. (I'm not sure if it is because of taking

Ten minutes respite visual and music therapy:

Oxidative Stress (ROS), Sleep and the Gut Microbiome: Staying Alive
I am just back from a challenging (humbling) multiday backpack in the High Sierras of California. Very beautiful but drought conditions, dry stream water sources made it more difficult. Here is a pre-note on my own regimen: After completing my two phase radiation treatments for oligometastatic PC:

Insomnia with heart failure
Hi. I'm on heart failure medications. I'm keeping well and still enjoying long walks with the dog. A number of side effects from the meds but suffer lots of nights where I wake after a few hours and can't get back to sleep. I usually take half a 25g sleep aid which help. But the pharmacist got quite
