What medicines to be cautious of....
I am seeing my rheumatologist in 5 days, for the first time since my diagnosis for PMR and possibly GCA. I know prednisone will most likely become a part of my life again, but I had terrible side effects 20 years ago. So, if the doctor were to try anything else like Alendronic Acid (scarey!), are there

Am I entitled to see an endo specialist even though the laparoscopy showed nothing?
I am feeling really down at the moment because I don't seem to be getting any answers. Sounds petty extreme but I have been in tears about it all. :( I had a laparoscopy with a general gyne last year and no endo was found and I was sent home with no follow up. I just got told I will be fine now because

Hi. I was diagnosed with PMR at the end of January and been taking 20mg of Prednisone. Yesterday started reducing to 15 mg by alternating between 3 and then 4 tablets alternately. Dr recommended taking alendronic acid? Not keen on this idea. Any thoughts?

Now diagnosed with PA
Since my first post on here I've been diagnosed with Pernicious anaemia as the cause of my very low b12 level (58) I received my 6 loading doses and was told they would be every 3 months thereafter. As I had some of the neurological problems I asked if I could have more of the loading doses, the doctor

A sleep concern
Hi Everyone, I haven't been here in a while, it's usually the case when things are going well. But recently I've developed this bad sleeping habit. (?) What's confusing is it came out of the blue. Something similar has happened before when my anxiety was bad ( I don't feel it's bad right now tho). As

Had anyone had a bad reaction to Alendronate_
I was prescribed Alendronate at the beginning of the year when I started taking it once a week. Since then I have had increasing pain mainly in my thigh muscles, groins and shins. It has become so bad that I have difficulty in walkking. I mentioned the possibility of a connection between these pains

Unsure what to do
Hi, I’m taking Alendronic acid weekly at the moment. I was thinking of getting bisphosphonates by twice yearly injection instead. I’d love to know if anyone else have done this, and if there are any benefits for taking it this way.
