Alendronic Acid - needed or not?
Hi to all you lovely, helpful people, Wonder if someone can advise me. I am currently on 10mg of Prednisolone which I take after Omeprasol every morning. My doctor has also prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg for me as a previous DEXA scan (2 years ago and no figures given to me at the time) showed my bones

New to the group
Hi all, I had a dexa scan in April which came back with a t score of -3.9 and a diagnosis of osteoporosis of the spine. I already knew I had a compression fracture of L2 vertebrae after an x-ray. Doctor prescribed alendronic acid and vit d3 but I stopped the alendronic acid because it made my IBS worse

Raised LFT Question
Good morning, I was wondering if anyone could offer me any insight to my blood test results. I used Thriva to check my Liver function amongst other things and all come back ok except GGT of 112. I mentioned to GP and she ordered some more blood tests. In the meanwhile I have had a hysterectomy almost

Change in taste
Ive been taking alendronic acid for 3 months now and tolerate it fairly well. However Ive found I’m finding cooked vegetables and meat unpalatable. My appetite hasn’t changed so I’m filling up on rubbish! Which isnt good. Thinking of asking my doctor to change my medication. Anyone else had this issue

Strategies to manage fatigue
Hi guys I have been diagnosed in April and been on Ursodiol since. No idea yet if the medication is working since I switched insurances and my first appointment with the hep specialist is still two months out. (What a system!) Anyway, for the most part I am doing ok but the fatigue and it’s unpredictable

Faolure to book MRCP/cholangiopathy
In June I had an ERCP to remove a stone stuck in my bile duct. Afterwards I was told that my bile duct was suspicious for cholangiopathy and the ducts to/in my liver looked narrowed. They said that I may have an autoimmune liver condition and they were booking an mri/mrcp which would be about 4 weeks

Albutrix made me feel more ill every day I took it.
Albutrix made me feel more ill every day I took it. At 17 days I really felt like I was dying, so I quit it and improved after a couple of day. About 5 days later I tried it again at two tablets a day, two days in a row, and again became very ill. About a week after that I learned that while taking Albutrix

Acid ursodeoxycholic and Fenofibrate for PBC
Hiya! An internist suggested that mixing the urso with fenofibrate has shown good results for patients with PBC. I was recently diagnosed with PBC overlap AIH. Are any of you talking it together? Any insight that you could share with me?

Some supplements that have helped me a lot. Glutathione, berberine, and alpha lipoic acid.
I've had great results with reducing numbness and brain fog by taking Glutathione, berberine, and alpha lipoic acid. It's been a nice reduction in the neuropathy since taking these supplements. They all have effects that help with what we're going through here. You'd need to read up on any sort of

Pandemic woes and lost progress
Hello, Not sure how to start this so I'll guess I'll just start. 2019 was a golden year, lots of friends around, had a great dog, and a couple good flings, it was just a good time all around. However as the year came to an end, two friends moved out of the house, leaving my best friend, dog, cat, and

New Italian paper below. [1] Mark Moyad has been saying for many years that "Heart-healthy is prostate-healthy." It is known that men with PCa have a higher risk for cardiovascular-related mortality - even if not on ADT - and that men with PCa often exhibit symptoms of the metabolic syndrome [MetS],

Does this sound like a stomach ulcer?
Hello, about 6 weeks ago I suddenly had pain in my upper middle abdomen, that radiated to the back and sides and built over a few hours. Eventually I was vomiting bile and this continued for 2 days. As I’d been taking NSAIDS fairly regularly over the past year my doctor recommend I start a PPI medication

Ursodiol is working :)
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with PBC back in May after years of trying to figure out what was wrong. I started on Ursodiol right away and yesterday, I got my bloodwork results back after 3 months of being on it. My liver numbers went from off the charts to practically normal again. The Ursodiol is working
