Dexa scan results worse than last scan
Hello, I suppose I am hoping to get reassurance in some way but feel devastated by my third Dexa bone scan results after two years. My total spine is T -3.2 and T hip -1.4. My previous scan results were Total Spine T -2..6 and T Hip -1.4. I am awaiting a copy of the actual scan report. Following my

laparoscopy NHS waiting time
Hi, I had my appointment with a specialist last week, and it went better than I expected. She went through everything with me, all my symptoms and everything I've tried to do to relieve the pain. She said as the meds given to me for PCOS were ineffective, she thinks its endo and has booked me in for

DEXA scan....success
I asked for a DEXA scan a few months in to my PMR/GCA journey around 3.5 years ago. Thanks to the good advice on this forum I wanted to get a reading before I started with Alendronate. My gp felt it was unnecessary but I stood my ground. I was diagnosed with osteopaenia and so have been taking Alendronate

Latest visit to the Rhemy
I'm on 8mg steroids, 15mg methotrexate (to get me off the steroids) and Alendronic Acid for OP. My neck and wrists have been in getting worse as I reduce. I wake up with wrists throbbing and am finding it hard to dress myself again. I thought by reducing to 8mg the specialist would be happy but also

Co Enzyme Q10 & Alpha Lipoic Acid : good anti oxidants or not helpful bad ideas? Do they extend Healthspan or reduce inflammation?
I take both. I just ordered more regrettably as I’m now reconsidering the evidence behind both. I know many others on HU take them as well. What is the science to explain why? My reason for taking ALA is a lame one. Dr. David Sinclair does. But as I look in to this more I think that maybe neither

Sense-check, Hashi Swings, and inability to lose weight
I just wanted to sense check my plan for optimising my health, considering my latest blood tests have arrived. So scroll down to blood tests, as first, I am providing all sorts of contexts for reference. In short, I have Hashimotos and have been testing at least twice per year with Medichecks. Bio

Gallstone Attack
Do other P.A./B12D sufferers have gallstone problems? I have had them many years ago, but yesterday brought a whole new meaning to the word pain! After several excruciating hours I eventually fell asleep exhausted. Have felt weak and pathetic all day. I have braved half a banana and peppermint tea,

Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole Forum things so I thought I would just start anew thread for anybody who is interested in what my ultrasound test came out to be. I'm a little nervous about them. Keep in mind I do not drink. I have never been a drinker. So this is not because of any kind of alcohol

Newlyish Diagnosed Grateful to find this website
Hi Everyone, I went to my GP back in November thinking I had either an ear or sinus infection, thankfully she was on the ball and after taking something like 10 vials of blood she sent me home with 60mg perisdione to start immediately with a suggested diagnosis of GCA. I think at that point I wasn't

Feeling really down
I have recently started treatment for recurring cancer.Rubrac a didn't work for me and I have already had Carbo/Taxol and Carbo/Caelyx. As my son and his family are visiting from New Zealand in July (prompted by my increasing ill health) I decided to try Anastrazole tablets rather than weekly Taxol,

Agitation awaiting liver transplant
My husband and I are constantly arguing over the smallest things. He becomes very agitated and verbally abusive. He has compensated cirrhosis and HCC. He is currently awaiting a liver transplant. Our marriage is in tatters.

Confused about osteoporosis treatment

Finally got a dexa scan in April 2021 and confirmed osteoporosis of the spine with a T score of -3.9. My doctor

Osteoporosis at 29
Hi all, I’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and I’m 29. This came about as I realised my toe was broken but didn’t have a clue how it happened so went to A&E. They x rayed it said it was fractured and also said my foot density looked on the lower side and to follow up with the GP. I did that and
