Alendronic acid
New GP has recommended Alendronic acid following Dexa scan which shows problems with lower back. She said to ask Dentist for his opinion - he says OK as far as they're concerned although I couldn't have extractions if on AA (not planning on having any anyway)! One tablet per week for ever presumably

Dear Friends, I cannot believe that I’m writing this but after so many setbacks we have shared with you, Margaret’s lack of treatment is continuing and as each day passes we have no alternative other than to believe her care for severe osteoporosis has also stopped. Firstly however, an apology from

Back after a long time
Hi everyone, I haven't posted in quite some time, but I'm back because I need input from all the wonderful people on this platform. More than five years ago, my mom had a fall and was put on hospice care. They gave up on us too quickly, and she ended up with an NG tube down her throat for months

Tips for Circumcision
These are just some handy tips from what I have been through and I thought to share them as many have helped me and gave me advice. It’s a long read but hopefully it’s helpful. There can be a lot of uncertainty and impatience over the first 10 days or so but it’s really helpful to find someone to talk

zoledronic acid infusion
I had my second infusion of zoledronic acid on the 25th April and I must say it seems to be helping I am not getting as much back pain, I know that they don't know exactly when to stop it because it begins to make bones brittle after a time, and then it looks like prolia which seems dodgy,

Hot flushes
Hello I’m on week 4 of daily pred (20mg), 30mg lanzaprozole, 70mg alendronic acid (weekly not daily). I’ve suddenly started having horrendous hot flushes - mainly at night but yesterday evening had a horrible sweaty and ill feeling 30 mins. Very reminiscent of my early menopause days pre HRT. I have

How is PMR diagnosed?
At the end of January after starting on a weekly alendronate, I began having stiffness in legs and shoulder / arm pain. I couldn't get up from an arm chair and sleeping was disrupted by pain and trips to the bathroom because I was taking various pain meds. My doctor thought it was arthritis but did

Blood Tests to show if Calcium is being absorbed into the bones and not elsewhere....
Does anyone know if there's blood test than can tell if the calcium supplements are in fact going to the right place ( the bones) and not being absorbed into the bloodstream, if so what's it called? I have been diagnosed, via the DEXA scan, with severe osteoporosis, but I don't understand the explanation

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA)
The paper below is the most detailed and well referenced I have read regarding UDCA and TUDCA. Incredibly thorough. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10258966/#CR128

Alendronic Acid
Hi I have been getting heartburn after taking Alendronic Acid recently. Am on weekly dose. Have been taking for 3 months. My Dexa scan came back normal and the Rheumy says to stay on until Prednisolone stops which would be at least next March. I want to stop now as would rather risk fractures
