was it the wrong time to take myself off ibandronic acid?
Hello folks, feeling a bit out of my depths at the moment. I am now 5 years on prednisolone and, after discovering this wonderful forum was on a very slow tapering, got to 6.5 mgs but a bad cold followed by stressful events and I’m back to 7.5 mgs. My husband has recently been diagnosed with non-hodgkins

Zolendroic acid after discovering compression fractures. Osteoporosis.
This is an update and a thank you really, as well as info for others. Last time I posted I was puzzled about back pain. Later after a scan revealed compression fractures I realised that the digging in the garden in July resulting in back pain which I thought was an old war wound slipped disc, was probably

Severe RLS Where do I go now?
Hi! I've been lurking reading your posts for a couple of years. I live in Sweden and am a 58 yo female and have severe burning RLS without PLMD. Here's a condensed version of my story: July 2011 Laminectomy C4-C5. no real slide effects except nerve pain in right index finger which I've learned to block

Sunshiney days.
Should vit D supplements be adjusted when we are out and about in sunshine? Are amino acids worth taking as supplements? All stuff I come across in random readings. Thanks.

Is anyone here familiar with metabolomic analysis?
I've heard about metabolomics only recently while listening to a Dr Berg podcast. In short, if I understood correctly, it differs from regular blood tests by looking for the concentration of things (like amino acids, minerals, polyphenol, etc...) within your cells rather than the concentration in your

Update 7.7
It has been a while since my last update. Overall, things are going well. I feel better than ever, other than my knees. Time for another hyaluronic acid injection to lubricate the knees. I am going to try Durolane this time. It is a single injection instead of a series of three. In other news

How big are AA tablets
I am considering trying weekly alendronic acid tablets but am worried they will be too big for me to swallow since I have dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Please, what shape and how long/wide are the tablets people take? Note that there are good reasons why I should not have infusions. Meds involving

Anyone with alendronate side effects?
I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis in July of this year. My physician immediately started me on alendronate. Approximately two months into treatment I began having severe shoulder joint and muscle pain that is making it too painful to do most exercise I had begun. My physician thinks it is unrelated

t12 and calcium supplement
I have got severe osteoporosis and I am wandering if I would be better off with a calcium supplement, I tried adcal-d3 after my zoledronic acid infusion but I had to stop because it gave me constipation, I don't want to be messing about measuring out calcium and I don't know if I am absorbing calcium

Different Treatment Advice from Endocrinologist and Rheumatologist
Hello, I'm in my thirties and have osteoporosis. Earlier this year I saw an endocrinologist who advised I start HRT (my hormone levels are fine) and I have just seen a rheumatologist who advised I take alendronate. Neither can advise on the other. I wondered whether people had experience with either
