Will Alendronic Acid affect my RLS?
I have Osteopenia and have been advised to start taking Alendronic Acid to prevent me developing Osteoporosis but am worried it might make my RLS worse. I take Requip and seem to have it under control.

ursodeoxycholic acid
hi everyone, Hope your all well. I’ve had pbc for about a year now. I take 500mg of ursodeoxycholic acid twice per day. I suffer from waves of nausea at different times throughout the day. Today I spoke to Gastroenterologist on the phone and he told me to take the medication 1000mg at bedtime. Does

Dexa scan
I thought I would share my experience. I have just been for the above, having questioned the need for me to be taking Alendronic acid. I was told by my GP that I “might as well” take it when started on Steroids. I hated the ritual of having to get up earlier on the day I had to take it and then when

As a WF, age 60 - the last several years have seen some big health scares / diagnoses: FYI: After a torn shoulder rotator cuff injury in Oct 2022 and PT making the pain worse, my orthopedic Dr finally suggested an MRI. Results did not have good news. He then suggested a surgical repair with "bone

Questions about taking Alendronate (Fosomax) and hydroxyeurea
I have Et with Jak 2. I was diagnosed last year when my platelets were around 600. After having a physical and a bone scan my gp just recommended taking alendronate for osteopenia. I walk 3 miles a day and work out. I have concerns about doing this especially with taking hydroxy. I have a friend whose

Hyaluronic acid excess
Hello Given the serious and worrying range of symptoms that are discussed here, I hope it's not annoying to ask about a minor one. I'm wondering if anyone else has a problem with excess hyaluronic acid and if so what facial moisturising creams are appropriate? A post I saw here some months ago helped

Has anyone else had a problem with loose teeth?
I went to the dentist yesterday who said 4of my teeth are becoming loose, probably due to Alendronic acid and Carbamazepine ( for trigeminal neuralgia ) He said my dental hygiene was excellent. The only available treatment on the NHS is a denture! I am being referred to a periodontal specialist but

amino acids not recognised as essential in humans such as taurine play a role in fibromyalgia,
In this study, researchers measured the level of 20 amino acids (critical components of proteins). They found that overall levels of amino acids were lower in fibromyalgia and that seven amino acids were especially low, including taurine, alanine, tyrosine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine, and threonine.The

Creaky Joints!
Hello Everyone. Having had trouble going down to 4mg Pred previously, I'm nearing the end of a 6 month taper from 5mg to 4mg. Over the last couple of months I have had a really stiff neck and shoulder pain on one side. I can't decide if this is symptoms coming back, or osteoarthritis, because I definitely

Magnesium salts and RLS: malate, glycinate or citrate
Just following up on a recent post recommending magnesium malate for RLS, quoting recommendations made by Californian company Pure Biogenics in promoting their RLS supplement Seratame. Looking into this, experiments on rats suggested that malate may be the most bio-available form of magnesium; there

What pain relief do you use?
Following on from my thread, I just wondered what pain relief you use? Naproxen, paracetamol, Mefenamic acid have done nothing for me. I'm currently on co-codamol 30/500 which is working but is saying my constipation to be worse than it is already. Does anyone use Amitriptyline? Thinking it might help
