update on my post about my colonoscopy on August 6th while on 3.5mg of Prednisolone.
Hi all, I’m sure I had very little sedation because I felt so much pain during the colonoscopy that I thought they’d forgotten to give me any. Only one polyp & 2 biopsies were removed & it felt like I was awake during the whole procedure, which I wasn’t as it took 40 minutes. I even felt the scope

just started Alendronic Acid tablets
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and given alendonic accid tablets to try. The day after I took them my teeth on one side felt weird, more prominent somehow. I'm wondering if this is normal or a problem. Have asked my dentist for advice but wondered if anyone else experienced this?

Omega 3
Hi all, hope everyone is feeling well. My husband has CLL and has been taking Ibrutinib for 3-years. I just wondered if Omega 3 is something you can take with CLL or should it be avoided? I have read a lot about it’s benefits, but not sure if it’s suitable for people with CLL. Many thanks

ongoing cystitis
I had radiotherapy in 1999 for cancer in the vagina. . For the past 8 years I have suffered from UTIs/ cystitis. Initially I controlled it through cranberry Ju ice, yogurt, cystopurin, barley water and drinking gallons! Over past 4 years I have had to resort to antibiotics: initially a week’s course

Second Prostap injection
Hi, I had my second 3 month Prostap injection 4 weeks ago and I’ve been bleeding heavily with clots since having it… it took 6 weeks for the bleeding to stop when I had the first one, then I had a few weeks of no bleeding which was lovely, I started spotting two weeks before my second was due but assumed

Loss of Bone density
I have just received a low bone density diagnosis due to the 8 months of prednisone, I suppose. I am devastated as I have followed all the recommendations for diet, pills, including alendronate, and do numerous weight bearing activities. Can bone density ever improve naturally? Or is this forever?

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

imuran
I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it

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.

Omega 3 supplements- increased risk of cardiovascular disease?
I recently read on a Grassroots Health newsletter that recent research has shown that B vitamins don’t work well without omega 3. (I can’t be more specific than ‘don’t work well ‘and I’m not sure there was a reference - but I’ll find a screenshot. I take a B complex So I started supplementing with omega

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

Egg collection results
Finally the wait is over. The dr called me to give me results for my EC. Out of 4 eggs 2 were matured and fertilised and 1 didn’t make it. I take comfort that I have 1 embryo that is now frozen. It is a 3BB @ day 6, he mentioned the best would have been 4AA just to give me an idea of where we are (this

Zolpidem users: a debilitating surprise awaits at 65
I took Zolpidem (a.k.a., Ambien) for 12 years. Last spring my doctor cut off my prescription without discussion. Around the same time my brother's doctor cut his prescription from 10mg to 5mg without discussion. At same time a fellow employee of my brother had her prescription cut off – without discussion

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
