A Different View on Bone Protection
Replied to a question about bone protective medications on another forum today, and thought it might be of interest to some here at FPC. So pasting it here. Full disclosure: I have been taking denosumab (Prolia or Xgeva) for over 5 years and currently have normal bone density. I also take Calcium supplement

Quick taper?
My CRP was rising and with lots of pain killers. Dr raised my 10 mg to 15 mg Prednisilone for 5 weeks. Now, CPR has come down by half and he is advising I reduce to 10 mg , via practice receptionist on telephone , with bloods again in 6 weeks. Question: Is this something like normal practice, and would

Hell is back in town
Pram withdrawal hell is back. I’ve been withdrawing by half a tablet every fortnight. The last month, I’ve been pretty good with RLS. Not so with PLMD. Since I dropped last Sunday down to 2 pram per day, RLS and PLMD have gone into overdrive. I’m getting a couple of hours sh1ty sleep each night. I hate

Celecoxib / Celebrex
Does anyone have experience with taking Celebrex longer term? I've found it seems to do a great job of controlling inflammation for me. I'm wondering how long I might be allowed to take it. A question for my doc of course, but my next appt is a month away so I thought I would turn to the seasoned

Anxious about totally bizarre symptoms
I suffered Nephritis as a child (60 years ago) and have since then had no kidney problems except passing a kidney stone around 5 years ago. For the past 5 or 6 nights I have been woken with quite severe pain in the area of my right kidney. At first I assumed I was passing another stone and the first

Complete thyroidectomy & meds
Hello everyone ! I had a complete thyroidectomy in August. Initially, I had been taking the generic Levothyroxine. I immediately had horrible symptoms of crushing depression and extreme fatigue. My doctor boosted me up to 125 mg and there was no difference. I looked online and read that some people

New meds.
Thanks for all the comments in my previous post. I'm speaking to the doctor in the UK on Friday. Gabapentin or Pregablin is suggested by many of you which I now know are pain killers. I wouldn't say I'm in pain just discomfort that stops me sleeping. Is it still right to ask for these. In the UK dopamine

Maybe now the cruelty can stop
The U.S. CDC, doctors and organizations who, directly or indirectly, inhumanely reduced and/or cut people off from opioids for pain or RLS now have a chance to redeem their cruel decisions based on new CDC guidelines (link below) released 11/03/22. It can be shown that the medical community’s response

Silly Mistake
Hi, I’ve been gradually reducing my preds, was down to 6mg, decided to try 5.5, after being on 6 for about a month. All was going well, I tend to take my dose along with a nerve painkiller around 5/6am. I had mistakenly put a one in my box, instead of a five, which I only noticed after two nights.
