Bisphosphonates and joint problems - are these related?
For the second time this year I am about to have surgery to remove bone from a joint. In May this year I had a cheilectomy to remove bone from my big toe joint. I am now going to have surgery to remove bone from my collarbone (where there are bony spurs) and a decompression of my acromioclavicular joint

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

‘Supplementing’ supplements with whole-foods.
Before Parkinson’s symptoms came into my husband’s life, we generally tried to get all our nutrients from the food we ate (and had to supplement B12, D, and omega 3 because of a plant-based diet). Since following sites like this, we have added more B vitamins (B complex, B1, more B12), and magnesium

osteoporosis and products to help
hi everyone. Been on alendronic acid for about 4 months but have had a small problem of irritation in my throat, causing coughing. Coughing is painful, having 4 spinal fractures in April. I’ve now been asked to change to zolondronic acid, yearly infusion. This is NOT the same as denusomab.

Can I Reduce The Symptoms of ADHD Taking These Supplements?
Hi everyone, I am diagnosed with ADHD last week. My psychiatrist prescribed me Strattera (Atomoxetine). I have heart arryhtmia and learned that it is not recommended to use Straterra if you have heart arryhtmia. Also I learned that sudden deaths and stroke have been reported in adults taking atomoxetine

Brilliant review with pharmacist
Hi Everyone I’m just back from a review of my medication for PMR and high blood pressure with the surgery pharmacist. He was great and to me had a better understanding of this condition than any of the gp’s I’ve spoken to on the phone. He did admit that they don’t always understand the interactions

Obeticholic acid
Hi everyone I was diagnosed around 5 years ago. Unfortunately I am not fully responding to first line treatment Urso. The Dr's are suggesting that I should start on Obeticholic Acid. I'm a little apprehensive due to the side effects listed. Is there anyone here who could advise please? Tia 😊

Elevated parathyroid hormone?
Is there any research, data, or personal experience with having parathyroid levels, but not blood calcium levels, become elevated while taking alendronate? I had been on alendronate very successfully (no side effects and a stabilized DEXA) for about 6 months when my TSH to monitor my decade long hypothyroidism

Test results, a penny for your thoughts?
Hello everyone, just had my latest blood tests done. Just curious what you would say about them, if you have the time? A few months ago I went up by 12.5mcg in an attempt to bring my TSH down to around 1 where I generally feel better. My weight is a lot better these days, my heart rate has finally calmed

denosumab injections
Hi Everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice so I can make an informed decision about treatment with denosumab. I am 61 and I had a small hormone-related breast cancer removed at the start of 2020. Subsequently I went on Letrozole which I couldn’t tolerate. They changed me to Anastrozole which I’m ok

Fungus used in Chinese medicine improves sleep in rodents (and also impacts glutamine/glutamate)
This isn't an easy read but, if the results can be relied on, looks promising https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8837518/ Abstract Ganoderma resinaceum is a valuable Chinese medicine. This study aimed to investigate whether a G. resinaceum alcohol extract (GRAE) improves sleep, and analyze

Expiration date
After reading about the (supposed?) shortage of B12 in UK, I, too, am wondering if PanPharma’s shortened expiration date from 2 years to one year has contributed to this perceived shortage. Have we gotten the final answer on why PanPharma shortened their expiry date? Does anyone know if the inactive

Anyone clued up on bone health please?
I recently had a bone scan and was very concerned to learn that there had been severe degenerative changes to both my spine and hips which weren't expected as my scan 3 years ago wasn't bad. They did take me off Alendronic Acid 18 months ago at which time I also went gluten and dairy free (found out

Diagnosis Issue
Hi All, I have been having issues with my periods since they began but the last 3 years have gotten much worse. Every period I have seems to be worse than the last. After a lot of back and forth with the GP and having tried the pill, mini pill and coil over the last 6 years, I persuaded them to refer

Dosage of Ursodiol
Looking at my M2 Antibody levels from the last 2 blood panels, it looks like I have PBC. My other levels, GGT and Alk Phos are within normal range. My doctor has prescribed Ursodiol for me to treat the PBC and the dosage seems high. I am to take a 500mg tablet in the morning and a 250mg tablet at

The Human Serum Metabolome of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency and Repletion, and Associations with Neurological Function in Elderly Adults
Just came across this paper from a few years ago. Thought it interesting as, so often, B12 seems to be though of as a one-trick pony - affecting erythropoiesis and nothing else. The occasional use of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine as additional tests. And that's your lot, folks. In my
