Breathlessness advice
In December 22 I was diagnosed with gastric reflux and BAM (
Bile
acid
malabsorption
). This might be related but I don’t think so. In people’s experience what other changes have people noticed prior to their next “event” ?

Bleeding for 26 days, taking Tranexamic Acid and Norethisterpne 1 x 3 day of each.
I’ve been bleeding for nearly a month. My period started and never stopped. Had to go to A & E twice, they prescribed me Norethisterone for 10 days, but bleeding didn’t stop, went again to AE and they’ve added Tranexamic Acid. I’ve had slight improvement for 2-3 days after taking these pills for 2 days

Teriparatide
I finally decided to stop the daily injections, even if just for a drug-holiday. so last night no injection. The relief was instant. I had more strength to go to bed. Was not dizzy anymore and my low mood had vanished. No leg cramps overnight, and I feel rested this morning. 100% better. The side effects

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.

Can PMR weakened muscle cause curvature of the spine?
I finally saw a doctor at the pain clinic today. Since being diagnosed with PMR in 2018 I have lost 15cm in height. In 2020, just before lockdown, I was moving a pkt of mushrooms across my body from the table to the counter, when I felt something 'go' in the middle of my back. An hour or so later

Alendronic Acid
I’ve been diagnosed with Osteopenia. About 7 months ago I was given vitamin d and calcium tablets which I am fine with. I was also given Alendronic acid which makes me feel very lethargic for a couple of days after taking. Has anyone else experienced this. I’m virtually at the point of deciding not to

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
Hello all. My apologies for the title of this post, but I didn’t know how to phrase it. I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on Prednisone ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt
