On top of everything else -- arthritis
I've read terrible things about
Fosamax
, and I'm loathe to take it. One more "degenerative" anything and I'm going to pop my cork!

My improved dexascan!!
Yet, my dear Rheumy wanted me to take
Fosamax
. I took him a copy of PMRpro’s link to the document showing that there may be fewer Prednisone side-effects than we are told and he read it. Thank you PMRpro!!!!

Have you used Evista (raloxifene)?
I'm not convinced
Fosamax
will help with my vertebrae - which I want to preserve the most - since I walk a lot a think my leg bones might be okay. Thanks for any thoughts or experience with Evista.

PCS and Topamax
Hi everyone... I had major uterine fibroids during my pregnancies and vulvar varicosities. Fun pregnancies, right? A year after my last pregnancy I had an abdominal myomectomy, nearly 8 pounds of healthy/plump fibroids removed from inside and outside of my uterus. It to longer to heal from that then

Migraine meds
I currently take Topamax which it worked in the beginning but it doesn't seem to be really working any more and I just read that a side effect is weight loss which could explain my continued weight loss after being off of Copaxone now for a year and being on Tecfidera. For those that suffer from migraines

So many pills - not many good results - any self help ideas?
I unexpectedly started getting migraines, vertigo, vision deterioration, muscles problems, nausea etc in December, though the year preceding this, I was starting to get muscle problems and balance problems but no headaches. Since then I have struggled to work, struggled to go out due to severe vertigo

Topiramate and the unlucky few
My experience on topamax last month was dreadful. I started the drug in January to help with migraines and within a day after taking it l, I started noticing I was getting extremely paranoid. Like, coworkers are trying to get me fired & wife is plotting stuff against me type of paranoid. It’s so strange

Okay Guys
So I went to the ER Saturday for my symptoms (generalized muscle weakness, fatigue, muscle spasms, arm numbness). So they kept me overnight did 3 MRIs and they came back okay, they told me I had complex migraines and told me I had to start taking Topamax. So I went home and started it Sunday night. Well

Fellow suffers. Here is my history. Everything that has happened with treatment.
Dear my fellow suffering, I thought it be best to write a little narrative of how and when my symptoms first began. For years I suffered from yeast infections. In the year 2000-2001 I fell from a very high surface onto my coccyx bone, that same week I also got a very bad urinary track infection
