Alendronic acid
Since my flair up I've now been on 15mg pred ( up from 7mg)for 3 weeks. Well, iv'e not felt this good in years. I can actually walk properly, walk with a stride and at a decent pace without feeling that my legs are bound by a resistance band. My energy levels are almost normal as some 4 years ago.

hi,I have been reading reports that zoledronic acid can cause weight loss, that's ok for people who want to lose weight, but not so good on us people who want to gain weight, I go for my infusion today.

Discovery of a signaling feedback circuit that defines interferon responses in myeloproliferative neoplasms- Published: 01 April 2022
This gets a little deep, but nonetheless may explain some things:
Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) are key initiators and effectors of the immune response against malignant cells and also directly inhibit tumor growth. IFNα is highly effective in the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs

Retested: low D & B12, high ferritin
I have retested with medicheck because I'm in the queue to see a private endocrinologist about my symptoms. I was hoping that treating my vitamins and minerals may give a different thyroid hormone picture. Iron 239ug/L (range 30-150) I am under haematology, treated for iron deficiency anaemia. Tested

PBC and another auto immune
My doctor gave me Ursodiol 500 mg and propranolol 10 mg. If I take 500 mg it will give me watery diarrhea. When I take 250 mg it is ok for several doses. It will get to the point of not feeling well, unablre to function very well and I get very mean which isn't my personally. So, I stop taking the

Advice about plan of treatment
I am 67, was diagnosed with PMR 2 weeks ago after 4 weeks of symptoms (stiffness and pain in neck, arms, shoulders, couldn't raise arms above shoulders, immense tiredness etc). Initial GP contact was excellent - he identified the problem, blood tests same day, consult 2 days later to confirm diagnosis

I have osteoporosis and I took Fosamax for a while and then lost 6 teeth! I stopped taking it a while ago, but my back is giving me grief now. I am taking calcium and Vitamin D, but I need to find out whether there are any alternatives to alendronic acid.

Supplements - Dangerous, Essential or Useless?
Wizard recently made an interesting post on the "drive to minimize supplementation" that I wanted to respond to in-depth. The post: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/150006558/the-drive-to-reduce-minimize-supplementation I decided a long form response would be better, thus my separate post here.

GP has prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg
Hi all My Dad’s GP has prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg tablets without explaining why. My Dad is now on Adcal -D3 1x daily, 9mg Prednisolone daily and 1x weekly Alendronic Acid. Is it normal to be prescribed Alendronic Acid? Also, how far apart should this be taken from Pred? Thanks Lindsay

Health News: Nourishment for Eyes
When my Mom was 6, an Alsatian (German Shepherd) dog jumped up on her, jarring her head round to look, left her with a cast in her right eye. Known as strabismus, the ancient Greek for squinting. More accurately, it means the affected eye can’t really focus and can thus appear as a cross-eye. Off her
