Small steps on the journey back to NSR
OK, I'm probably going to sound hopelessly optimistic here, but yesterday evening I met my EP Cardiologist who was giving a talk and update on AF and it cheered me up immensely. We hadn't met, but the technician who fitted the monitor told me to "make myself known". So I did. For the first time since

Has anyone taken a non-medication route and seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?
Hello, I have osteoporosis and been advised to take medication - either HRT or Alendronate. However, I as an alternative wondered whether anyone who is not on medication has seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?

Is all the extra medication needed?
Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with PMR just over 2 years ago and have posted on this invaluable site a few times. After high doses of Pred at the beginning with a possible threat of GCA,, which did not occur, I have yo-yoed a bit with stresses in life. However I am currently on 7 and a half mg and

How to recover from a failed flare taper

Itching for answers.... thankyou!
(Me = 80/JAK2 /ET/Hydroxycarbamide for 13years) I am very grateful to everyone that has replied to my list of queries about itching/pruritis. I have been aware for some years that it is a subject that has been repeatedly raised but felt that there did not seem to be a firm definition of cause or solution

Is there a chat network for people with osteoporosis in England?
I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and my Dr prescribed Alendronic Acid 70 mg once a week, but after reading the side affects of taking it am unsure whether to take them. So far I have only broken my wrist bone about ten years ago when I had a fall, I have small aches and pains and have neuropathy

omega 3 supplement
Good morning everyone. I saw my cardiologist yesterday as I’m having a new knee next week and for my own peace of mind had an echocardiogram which shows my heart is now as it was before AF and high blood pressure were found 3 years ago. She said this showed my blood pressure tablets and healthier lifestyle

Alendronic acid tablets 😠
I’ve been taking these for a few months and understand that they have to be swallowed properly, and whilst upright, as they can cause problems in the oesophagus. Does anyone one else struggle with these blooming things, even with loads of water etc. Why oh why do they have to be the size of a horse

Brief update on my lower Intestinal Tract Capsule Endoscopy.
Just to let you know that the procedure went fine. Although the camera was a little larger than an Omega 3 high strength capsule, I found that with the right mindset I swallowed it easily. The staff were a little disconcerted about my long term steroid use and the possibility of an adrenal crisis and

Treating muscle pain post zoledronic acid infusion
I had my first zoledronic acid infusion just over 24 hours ago. I was recommended to take some paracetamol before bed, which I did. I had some migraine associated visual disturbances just before I turned my light out, but slept through OK. This morning I developed a headache, so took more paracetamol

Having pain for 3/4 weeks
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else struggle with pain when they are not on their period. I struggle with cramps, lower back pain and hip pain the week before my period, the week of my period and the week after so I seem to only get 1 week out of 4 where I'm not in pain. I had an internal ultrasound

Hysteroscopy bleeding
Hi everyone!I had hysteroscopy on 14th of December to remove polyp. It was a but painful (I went without sedation) but bearable and quick. Had no bleeding afterwards. On 19th of December I had my first day of periods, as it was due. And on the second day I had so much blood and so many clots that I went

Vasepa (icosapent ethyl)
I have been prescribed Vasepa (icosapent ethyl) for several years now to lower my triglycerides and it has worked very well . I also know that it is a specific omega-3 fatty acid EPA and now I'm wondering what effect it may also have on my recently diagnosed fatty liver (S3) & (F3)?

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily

Zoledronic acid plus teriparatide
