Calcium D3 Gummies
Hi all, I made a decision not to take any medication, Fosomax etc, for osteopenia, even though my doctor wanted me to start. All your feedback was very helpful in confirming my decision. I talked in length worh my pharmacist, who agreed wirh my decision and recommended D3 and Calcium to start. I bought

evenity vs prolia+forteo
speak freely. my Mum's been given these choices, i would love it if she could come off prolia, but evenity sounds too high-powered. prolia has 60mg/6months of ingredient, and evenity has 210mg/1month of whatever it is, is that right? i don't even know if i want to know. had a T11 compression, had

Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and brachytherapy, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect. I expect that withing 3-4 months my psa will tell me

PALB2 genetic defect-Lynparza
I have PALB2 genetic defect. Just completed six cycles of Taxotere as part of triple therapy (chemo, Nubeqa and ADT) for about 20 Mets (PSMA scan) mostly skeletal (no organs). Only four Mets still lit up on PSMA scan after four cycles of chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa. Next PSMA scan in Jan. 2024. Oncologist recommends

to have second prolia ? Nervous
I have had one (first and only ) prolia injection in August this year . For the first time in 3,5 months - the back pain has subsided and I feel a little more human. Jaw sore ? Does this mean that my body has adjusted and will handle the 2 prolia injection better ? Or will the second injection be

My quality of life is diminishing, as I become more afraid of
fractures
, simply doing day to day activities. To refresh my status, I was diagnosed in May 2019 stage 4b bone metastases to spine, ribs, neck, skull, shoulders, legs, and hips. Also present was innumerable metastases to the lungs.

Elevated LDH
Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist

Total Hip Replacement Decision
Those of us with MPN's are at increased risk of vertebrae and hip
fractures
, YIKES! In discussions with my Oncologist, he indicated since we have a bone marrow disease, there may exist an inherent susceptibility or weakness in our bones.

Ketamine - a profound experience
Three weeks ago I went for a Ketamine therapy visit. My goal was to reduce my anxiety and get help with my existential fears. Had tried Effexor, but didn't like the way it made me feel and was concerned other anti-anxiety meds would do same. Ketamine is a short acting anesthetic, but at a lower dose

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Best Vit K2 Supplement UK, Anyone?
Hi all, I have osteoporosis but no
fractures
. Consultant says my spine is not bad on my latest MRI. I'm 66. However, he wants me to take Risedronate 35mg starting from now. Worried as I am about potential future breaks, I really don't want to take it, mainly because of the possible side effects.

Pelvis insufficiency fractures.
Which I had as i was diagnosed with Endometrial cancer, hysterectomy then several weeks later almost 5 weeks of RT, and I’m left with
fractures
. 7 weeks lying flat in bed and there. Was no change. I feel quite alone with these
fractures
as I know no one else with them.

Week 9 #2 done
I'm so nearly there. I really did not think I would get this far when I first set out. I thought either laziness or injury would stop me but here I am comfortably running 5k in 30 minutes and with only 1 run remaining. I am truly shocked! Hopefully Tuesday morning will see me complete C25k and from

Heart block
I’m in constant pain from the
fractures
and the pain dr says there is nothing more he can do for me. I had one kyphoplasy, been on every opioid, morphine and fentanyl no relief. How much more can a body and person endure?

Hip pain
I have severe OP, had 5 compression
fractures
, 2 years of teriparatide, now on Raloxifene. Over the last week I’ve had nasty hip pain, much worse at night. It eases with exercise, is worse with sitting and standing.

Parkrun might have to wait
I was intending to do my first ever parkrun tomorrow but having survived Ciaran yesterday, the sun was shining and it was fairly calm. Forecast tomorrow not so good- ah the dilemma, go out this morning or do some S&F and do parkrun tomorrow? Readers, the lure of a lovely sunny morning run was too great
