Osteoporosis
Hello Everybody, I had a DEXA scan in 2020, as far as I can see the only worrying result was the neck of femur -2.7. I have just had another DEXA scan on a different machine, and the same result was -2.9. To me, that is not a great difference, having been on steroids for 2 1/2 years. I now have been

Apixaban (Eliquis) and Omega 3 supplements
Hey All!! Question...Are others who take Apixaban (Eliquis) also taking Omega 3 supplements (that include DHA)? I've read that it could be problematic...increase length of time for bleeding, etc. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

How much is too much D3
Any views on taking 10,000 iu d3 daily? There’s evidence that it’s ‘safe and well tolerated’ I went to see my bone consultant today, he wasn’t impressed by me taking this amount but my calcium level is good and my dexa results have gone from -2.6 to -2.1 in 2 years I also take k2 and magnesium ,

Alendronic acid and depression
I came off Alendronic Acid because I didn’t think it was agreeable with me, it was a couple of months ago and I can’t remember the exact reason but it was on the suggestion of a consultant I was seeing for another reason and I have been fine. I started to take it again 3 weeks ago because I knew I

teeth whitening
good morning everyone I don’t know if anyone on here has had any experience with tooth whitening products, only I’ve seen an advert for a tooth whitening powder which I’m very tempted to try, especially as it’s dentist approved and is peroxide-free. I’m just wondering about the Alendronic Acid I’m

Selective amino acid restriction therapy (SAART)
This is a follow-on from something that came up in the "
Cysteine depletion sensitizes prostate cancer cells to agents that enhance DNA damage and to immune checkpoint inhibition"
post. Some here may be unfamiliar with the idea of selective amino acid restriction. I have never been tempted to

New paper below [1]. I have always been interested in ways in which a treatment might be enhanced by supplements or dietary changes. (or repurposed drugs) In this case, "depletion of L-cysteine/cystine" was via "an engineered human enzyme, Cyst(e)inase". "PCa cells treated with Cyst(e)inase lead

Low Ovarian Reserve - (supplements to boost eggs quality)
I'm 44 with a low ovarian reserve and multiple fibroids (which thankfully is outside the cavity). My GP referred me for NHS fertility investigations but I was rejected due to CCG criteria. My GP applied for Individual funding request but I was rejected. I had a consultation with a fertility expert

Radio 4 programme today
just listened to today's Food Programme at 15.30 via the BBC Sounds app. Really really interesting about the effect of nutrition on the brain and the importance of omega 3. It's half an hour and a must to listen to in my opinion.

Taking Alendronic Acid & Dentists won't touch me!
Wanted to have some dental work done & on speaking to a specialist dental surgery, when they heard I was taking Alendronic Acid & Prednisolone they just didn't want to touch me. Have been to visit my regular dentist today who said anything like an extraction or implant he wouldn't do & I would have

9 years and counting with PMR!
Feeling frustrated having been 'diagnosed' with PMR in 2014, initially controlled with prednisolone and then Methotrexate introduced in 2018 after I queried my diagnosis and treatment plan. Initially I was able to reduce preds down to 5 mg daily with 25mgs methotrexate weekly but I am ow struggling again
