kidney stones??
for the last week or so I have been suffering with intermittent severe sharp pains in the area of my right kidney. No warning and happens around 5 to 10 times each day. Never while I’m lying down, sometimes when I stand up or turn while sitting and sometime when I’m standing and bend. It’s very painful

Comprehensive CKD and healthy Diet app
If you are aware of any reputable comprehensive apps to help track food intake for CKD patients. I would love a recommendation. Kidney diet tracking is complicated and it would be invaluable to have a toolset for those of us trying to implement dietary changes that are comprehensive. By comprehensive

Dental work and AA
I am having a tooth implant done this week, on Wednesday. The surgeon knows I take Alendronic Acid and has advised to not take it on the morning of the procedure. He also said it was okay to take (should take?) a 3 month holiday from Alendronic Acid. Have you heard of that? The procedure involves drilling

Thoughts please ...
Hi EveryoneIn no small part due to the advice and knowledge found here, after much to do & tests finally got a 'unofficial' diagnosis of suspected variospastic angina and since April have been taking calcium blockers and statins - all going well until yesterday... Had what I can only describe as a 'turn

CKD diet and nutrients? Which do you take?
Hi guys! Who is at the stage of predialysis, please tell me how many times a week do you eat meat? And do you take ketosteril or ketoanalogs of amino acids? what about sorbents?

Magnesium and the heart
I stopped taking my magnesium supplement (not prescribed) about a month ago in the hope that my persistent morning diarrhoea would clear up. It hasn't. But I have noticed, on my Fitbit records, that my sleep quality has gone right down, my resting heart rate has increased from 60 to 72, and my heart

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

Severe bleeding and high blood pressure on Tibolone

PMR/Prednisolone/Alendronic Acid
Thank you all for your posts and will now try to reduce even more slowly. !5 mg of Prednisolone was not enough, so have now increased to 17.5mg and are again keeping fingers crossed. Would welcome views on long term (nearly 5 years) usage of Alendronic acid (I am male 79 years old) as I think that in

Cutting out pop and takeaways sounds sensible. I cut out dairy products and most carbohydrates but I am cautious about recommending that as eating too much protein and not enough calcium to remove the amino acids may have caused the kidney stones which I have developed. I should think most of those who

Osteoporosis treatment
I have recently been diagnosed with PBC and am taking 1000mg ursodeoxycholic acid daily. I just had a routine bone density done and it resulted that I have osteopenia in my hips and osteoporosis in my spine. Doctor prescribed 2 Osteocare daily plus Bisphosphonate Acid once I have a bill of good dental

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Weight gain and osteoporosis
I am in great discomfort because I have developed severe osteoporosis in the spine. I have compression fractures in three areas of the thoracic spine (T10, T11 and T12) and one area of the lumbar spine ( L1). I was diagnosed with GCA in September 2022 and have been on high doses of steroids until very

I figured out how to tolerate antibiotics (trimethoprim in this case) without huge neuropathic pain flare!! (for real this time!)
I've been posting about this on and off all year trying to get some answers. Anyway, I'll keep it short. I've been unable to tolerate Trimethoprim or Doxycycline without the both causing unbearable neuropathic pain (burning, stinging, tingling, etc). I tried multiple times and failed to continue after

Awful day
So yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been bleeding almost constantly since February. I’ve been on zoladex and now Prostap for 18 months. No improvement, in fact seems worse on Prostap. I get the letter no one wants, your smear test is due. Oh great can’t do that in my state. But

Alendronic Acid and diverticulosis
since my Rheumy discovered I have two fractured vertebra, she is insisting I take AA. At my Dexa scan last summer AA was suggested but left to my decision as it showed ostopaenia not osteoporosis. I took AA last weekend and experienced heartburn, indigestion and difficulty and some pain swallowing. I

Risedronate Update
Having had a long break after stopping Alendronic Acid, I started Risedronate on 2nd June 23. For the first few weeks I was fine. No noticeable side effects. (After the terrible time with AA you can appreciate I was overjoyed.) However about 3 weeks ago the same symptoms started creeping back.
