Alendronic acid - to take or not to take?
Hello, I’m new on here. I have severe asthma and have been taking quite high doses of steroids since January. My gp has suddenly prescribed alendronic acid to prevent osteoporosis. I have been alarmed by the potential side effects and am wondering whether to take it, or whether I should first try to

Fibro, Buprenorphine Patches and CBD Oil
Is there anyone that can give me any good advice. Over a good many years I was on a cocktail of pain medications. In the last couple I have managed to take myself off the pills but still remain on the Buprenorphine patch and anti-depressants. Because of being unsure if the patch was actually working

TEST results from Gallbladder.
I had a Hipa test for gallbladder squeeze and it showed I have 18% function. Supposed to have 40-100%... BUT I now am wondering if anyone did a "cleanse" for sludge etc. I have not had an ultrasound for stones but in 2019 I did and there were none. No more attacks. and I am hoping to keep it that way

Fatty liver and gallstone 😳
Hi everyone I hope someone can give me some helpful advice as I am not getting it from my doctor or the hospital. I had a scan on my stomach as I was feeling nauseous every time I eaten anything so they found I had a fatty liver and a gallstone stuck at the top of my gallbladder but the surgeon said

Can I have info on Alendronic Acid?
GP rang to say that recalculations had been done on my Dexa Scan and now I have osteoporosis in both my hips! I asked for time to make my decision, so all info will be helpful to me. MY own inclination is to say no thank you, because of all the side effects, and because I am already on so many drugs

Kidney stones and ibs
I believe there’s a link between kidney stones and ibs and other troubles in this area. Over the last 18 months I’ve had 6 treatments of lithotripsy. Finally my last scan said they were clear. Hooray I thought, it was short lived as the rest of the letter informs me, “ we have noticed a little deterioration

Is omeprazole necessary?
Now that my GP has their own pharmacist I had a conversation with one the other day. She was concerned I wasn’t taking omeprazole and I explained my reasoning behind it. When first diagnosed six years ago I started it along with alendronic acid totally oblivious as to why. After a few months and realising

Advice about Alendronic Acid
I am 54 and had an early menopause, so after a rib fragility fracture was sent for a Dexa scan. My result is osteoporosis in the spine (t score - 2.6), osteopenia femoral neck (t score - 1.8) and left hip (t score - 1.0). My risk of major fracture within 10 years is 9.6%. I have been prescribed Alendronic

Bowel prep for colonoscopy - long post. Sorry.
Hi. I thought I would kick off with the dreaded bowel preparation (clearing) required prior to having bowel examinations or surgery. There are a number of products (some branding names vary between USA and UK). So, this is my journey this year: Needed a colonoscooy as well as Upper GI Endoscopy so appointment

New insight into how anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids could help reduce depression
Research led by King’s College London has, for the first time, shown that when omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are given to patients with depression they are metabolised into molecules called lipid mediators and the levels of these in the blood are linked to an improvement in symptoms.

L1 = -3.0, L2 = -2.5 Have been prescribed Alendronic Acid but I am really concerned about taking it. Need advice/shared experience.
In May 2020 I had a dexa scan which showed L1 and L2 vertebrae as -2.0 and -2.2 respectively. After starting on 15mg prednisolone in August 2020 and reduced to 7.5mg in October I asked my rheumatologist if I could have another dexa scan. My mother had osteoporosis as a result of being on steroids,
