Fosamax (Alendronate) Question
Hi again, I'm a GCA patient that was diagnosed in AUG 2022, started at 60 mg PRED and finally down to 20 MG after 7 months. I was a previous PMR patient about 8 years ago as well, having taken about 6 years to decrease the PRED to zero. At my most recent rheumy visit, he suggested that I start taking

Gall bladder problems
An ultrasound recently revealed a cluster of small gallstones and non alcoholic fatty liver. Everything else was normal. I had the ultrasound as I had tender upper abdomen. I don't have painful attacks just a tender feeling. Nuisance value really. Has anyone been able to get rid of gallstones naturally

Shocked and confused about gallbladder result
I apologize for how long this may end up...I am confused and in absolute panic (I also have serious health anxiety): Over the past nearly two years, I've had an enlarged liver with fatty infiltration, jaundice, weight loss, etc...and my gallbladder has had stones and a adenoma which had not changed

ALP and when to add 2nd line therapy
I was diagnosed Feb. 2022 ALP was 307. Started URSO right away. ALP went down quickly - In July 2022 it was 107 but October 2022 was 119 and April 2023 was 120. So my specialist wanted to add ocaliva. I convinced him to give it another 6 months before adding anything and he agreed. So I am praying

Relief of Myofascial pain at last.

While I was sharing a four bay ward post hip replacement, two ladies - who had a total knee replacement and the other a half knee replacement - told me that although, like me, they had a spinal block plus sedation they both could hear the sawing and hammering and what the surgeons were saying…. but

⚠ Toilet humour ahead - TUDCA experiment
I've been taking TUDCA bile salts this week and I can confirm in my laboratory testing (Bathroom) that it does indeed make for none skid mark sinkers and a rather pleasing 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart!! The idea being low stomach acid precludes bile production which limits digestive ability... Edit
