When pred was first prescribed I was also prescribed Adcal-D3 and Alendronic Acid. Why? Are these reduced as the pred is reduced, now on 8 down from 20?

Zoladex - any advice on supplements?
Hi everyone - as a little background, I had surgery 4 months ago to drain what turned out to be two very large endometrioma on one ovary. I was then put on Zoladex, intended to be for 3 months until surgery for a cystectomy and removal of the rest of the endo - the approach is being taken to help protect

In June of 2019 I found a lump on my head that was diagnosed as metastatic breast cancer. A scan showed a few spots

My first love🧡
My Tecfidera ran out! Yes. I’m usually smarter than that-I promise. I had almost a whole bottle of generic Tec(dimethyl fumarate) left over from my first failed attempt at switching from the Tecfidera brand to using the generic form. Full body tingling(Paresthesia) kept me awake 2 out of the 2 nights

Post surgery
Hi. Had my bilateral mastectomy last week. Was told it went well but the surgeon wasn't sharing much, maybe it was the drugs I was on post surgery and I'm not recalling much! Waiting on pathology report to see how many lymph nodes had cancer and decide on chemo protocol. Pain is not too bad but I am

Inflammation dampening??
Good evening everyone, it has taken me nearly 5 years to get to 5mg for the 2nd time. First time I've dropped without any side effects 2 weeks ago. Then 3 nights ago I suddenly found I can get up easily from an armchair during the evening whereas I've always been very stiff (no pain though). I'm trying

Statin use and risk of PCa biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
New study below [1].
