osteopenia, Hashimotos and sjogrens
hi, my rheumatologist has prescribed Adcal and Alendronic acid. Due to oesphagitis because of Sjögren’s I don’t want to take Alendronic acid. Through research and the help of thyroid UK I now take vitamin D3 MK2 and magnesium. Pains in my chest which used to feel like a heart attack have cleared up since

Positive thyroid antibodies
Hello! I have recently been told I have positive thyroid antibodies. I appreciate this isn't as serious as most other thyroid conditions but I wonder if anyone could help me with suggestions to alleviate the tiredness. I am told there is no treatment and vitamin D3 which the GP suggested hasn't made

A Different View on Bone Protection
Replied to a question about bone protective medications on another forum today, and thought it might be of interest to some here at FPC. So pasting it here. Full disclosure: I have been taking denosumab (Prolia or Xgeva) for over 5 years and currently have normal bone density. I also take Calcium supplement

Vitamin D and IBS. Did it help you?

Calcium needed or not…?

Was told to take 1,000 mg / day to help prevent degrading into Osteoporosis as taking Prednisone can progress that disease. So, started reading scientific
