Experiences with

Hyaluronic acid

Since I last posted six months ago, I have tapered down to 2.5mg a day. The occasional mild discomfort in my arm remains - to remind me that PMR has not gone away - but my quality of life is fine. I will continue with a very slow taper. A few weeks ago I had a bone density scan L1-L4 is 2.7 Hip is

2 years ago I was admitted with a stuck gallstone in the bile duct and awful mid centre burning pain that went round into my back. I had been having stomach issues for the past 4 years. They did an ultrasound and diagnosed cholecystitis, wall thickening and a 10mm stretch in my bile duct. No stone

Hi - my second post today. I have seen a lot of messages about the role of vitamins play in supporting thyroid function for hypoactive thyroid. As I do not have a functioning thyroid (due having Radioactive Iodine in January 2024) there seems to be little point in me taking supplements to support thyroid

I have been on Ibandronic Acid for 2 years after 3 years of Alendronic Acid, making it a total of 5 years this year. The last time I spoke to my doctor she said that the Osteoporosis specialist said that as I was young, I am still only 56, that I could stay on Ibandronic Acid for 10 years. My last
