Just had first Zoledronate infusion
Hello! I'm looking for some reassurance and advice as I feel rather bewildered by the advice from my rheumatologist. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2016 following a DEXA scan, and my GP prescribed Risedronate tablets. I had a second DEXA scan in 2018 which showed no improvement, so I continued

Alendronic Acid
My liver guy has prescribed Alendronic Acid following my DEXA scan. I'm pissed off as I really thought I had calcium covered.

I’ve read about people that take large doses of vitamin D every few months instead of taking calcium daily. My question is: is there someone

Low platelet count
I'd like to know if anyone has experienced low platelet count since taking calcium channel blockers (nifedipine , vasocardol etc), or knows of any recent research on that subject.

Supplementing Vitamin D has no effect on fracture risk
I know a number of you supplement Vitamin D in the hope of reducing fracture risk due to ADT-induced osteoporosis. It doesn't work. An update of the VITAL randomized clinical trial reported no difference in fractures among people supplementing Vitamin D vs. people not supplementing it. There were no

Have you stopped things that might hurt your bone health?
I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis and there is no way that I will agree to taking Prolia or similar drugs. You could not pay me a million dollars to take these dangerous drugs!
