Proteolytic Enzymes... Has anyone had any success with them?
I already take Curcumin and Vit K2 on top of ADCAL supplements and wondered if anyone has used Proteolytic Enzymes. Are they worth the money? I am currently on 7.5mg Steriods and taking Alendronic acid too.

Jaw discomfort
Can anyone advise? Onset of PMR was September 2016 and I began prednisolone in January 2017 after a long delay in diagnosis being confirmed. DEXA in August 2020 confirmed osteopenia and I began Alendronic Acid in October. Just in the last couple of weeks or so, I've started to feel a discomfort in

Progesterone only pill
I’ve started taking the POP yesterday, just wondering what people have experienced in terms of timescale before I feel any pain relief? I’m awaiting a lap and have been given the POP on top of the other meds I’m already taking (paracetamol, Mefenamic acid and codeine when needed). Thanks

Pred-induced Osteoporosis - Zoledronic acid??
Hi Everyone I was asked to report back after I'd seen my consultant this week, re the ankle fracture I incurred without a fall or trip - you rightly deduced that she said I must have a Dexascan. (I await date and time for that). However, she also said that the weekly Alendronic acid I've been taking

Ursodiol and thirst?
I’m almost 60 days into taking Ursodiol and I noticed over the last week in particular that I’m overly thirsty. Has this happened to anyone else? I left a message for my dr about it tonight.

Advice and help please
Hi all, my first post here - I'm 47 and suffering with extremely heavy periods, flooding, passing big clots etc. Just had an ultrasound and transvaginal probe which has shown everything is normal. I know I should be pleased but still don't have any answers as to what is causing this. I've been taking

Alendronic Acid
I’ve only taken two tablets up til now, but I’ve read about having a dental check up before taking them. I do have dental issues so should I stop taking AA until I have my dental check up. Im also on Prednisolone for 5 days due to some breathing issues but I’m actually thinking maybe it’s the AA not

Zometa
I'm having oral surgery next Thursday on a bone in my jaw do to advanced cancer. Anthem refused to pay for it, saying it is a dental thing. Some cancer patients whose cancer has spread to the bones receive regular infusions of a bone-modifying drug, such as zoledronic acid (Zometa) May have side affects

Alendronic acid or not?
Fifteen months ago when I started Pred, my GP insisted I took Alendronic acid to avoid osteoporosis. I asked for a Dexa scan first, which he refused, so I did not take Alend. acid . Today he has again put pressure on me to accept this medication. When I mentioned Dexa scan again he agreed this time

Man Who Recovered Using Meditation was on Terazosin?
Corrected (thanks park_bear), this guy was meditating, not using QiGong. So no sooner than I post about Meditation Guy (again), I'm re-reading the article (was surprised he was in Massachusetts) and see he was diagnosed with PD in 2000 and was on all the medications and and was recovered by 2013.

Severe Period Pain but no diagnosis
Hi, I haven’t yet been diagnosed with anything - endometriosis etc… but I joined this forum to see if it’s worth pushing for it to be investigated? I’m only 18 but I have had several trouble with my period since I was 9, to the point where I am curled up on the floor in agony, or where I’m shaking badly

Tranexamic acid - any advice?
In short, I have endo & adeno and am currently treatment free whilst waiting for a hysterectomy (I'm 45). My periods are pretty heavy and painful and a doctor has suggested trying Tranexamic acid for a few months. I just wondered if anyone else has tried this in a similar situation and did it work? Thanks

Have I made the wrong decision?
I had a lap in 2016 which was negative for Endo. I was diagnosed with IBS. I have since suffered reoccurring large cysts and a great deal of pain. In May 2021 I was hospitalised and advised by two gynae DRs that they believed I did have Endo and that it was missed. I’ve been off work since, can’t drive

Alendronate- side effect (diarrhea)
I started alendronate 3 weeks ago and 3 days. In week 3 I am experiencing diarrhea, sometimes uncontrollable unless I take Imodium. I’ve taken this 4 years ago for 4 weeksand experienced no side effects. I wonder long I should wait to get use to it. Trying to avoid prolia. Has anyone experienced diarrhea

Worried about Alendronic Acid and pain
Hi I started AA last Thursday when my doctor rang me with the results of my Bone scan and told me I had osteoporosis, he didn’t give me any results or tell me how bad I had it, just checked what reflux medicine I was on and asked if it was controlled which it is. I took my first tablet and 4 days later

Newly Diagnosed
Hi I’ve just been told I have severe Osteoporosis after having a Dexa Scan. I’ve started Adcal D3 and I’ve been given Alendronic Acid 70mg. It’s my left hip and lumber spine which is affected, -3•5 in hip, -3•1 in lumber spine. I’ve been told I have a fracture risk of 36%. I’m naturally concerned about
