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

Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

Good news - alendronic acid
Hi, I thought I would share some good news. Three years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and started on alendronic acid with dome reluctance. After a rough first couple of weeks I got used to the medication. I modified my diet a bit, stsrting tsking Vit D and calcium, increased my BMI from 18.2

Zolendronic Acid Infusions
I know this treatment is for osteoporosis and not PMR but I’ve been offered this treatment as I’m over 65 and I’m on the cusp of being osteopenic and my bone fracture score is now just above 10.. Recently my rheumy said that the results of my dexascan were some of the best he had seen for someone on

Rasagiline/Azilect?
Hi ! My hwp (77) diagnosed 2017. But of course with hindsight symptoms manifested earlier. Started C/L last year : 25/100 @ 3 times a day. Azilect 1 mg once a day . Walking became a really serious problem a month ago. Partly because of ongoing "sciatica" but also freezing a few times a day. Two weeks

My calcium level appears low within bone profile blood tests. Are these an accurate representation I wonder?
Diagnosed with osteopenia after having Dexa scans in 2016 and 2023 and breaking wrist and arm in separate incidents of slipping on ice. My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another

zoldronate risk factors?
Hi , risedronate has only worked on my spine and not my hips for the last 2 years. hips at 16% risk, t_score -3.6. albeit I have not been taking enough vit D over the last 2 years. I have upped my vit D now, my calcium intake is fine. Zoledronate has been mentioned but I am wary of the risk of zoldronate

Constipation
Hi helpful community. I am on 40 mg or prednisone for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the prednisone or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple

For those taking Vit D supplements
I happen to take Vit D3 supplements and I presume many others on this forum do also. I knew about the adverse affects of taking too much Vit D3. So I do not take them every day. I take them 5 times a week during the winter months and then 3 times a week during the summer. But I did NOT know taking
