Is what I'm experiencing Pelvic Pain? Plus Spritz for Bits?
I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises. I found a women's health physio who tells me my pelvic floor measures 5/5 on the modified Oxford scale so

Second opinion Dr implies no Endo!
Hi Everyone! So I work abroad on and off and in the UK, I was ‘kinda’ diagnosed with endometriosis, based on a teeny tiny left side ovary cyst they found and the fact that my womb or something was stuck to the back wall of something (uterus?) 🙈🙈 so in the country where I am working, I finally managed

Hello everyone
I was diagnosed with PMR at the end of January after several months of aching joints with limited mobility, particularly in my shoulders. After a week of steroids the mobility in my shoulders returned to normal and my hips and knees were fine. I was able to resume doing my weekly 30 mile cycle ride.

Finally finished prednisolone.
Hi all, after just over 7.5 years I've finally managed to stop pred. It's been a very long and slow reduction with the inevitable hiccups along the way. I ended up on 0.5mg every 2 days and finished last week, with no ill effects that I'm aware of. The last PMR symptoms I had were in 2020. What I'd like

Advice on egg freezing and hysterectomy for severely heavy bleeding
Hi everyone, I'm doing a little bit of research so I can take a huge stack of notes to my next gynaecology appointment, and wondered if anyone was able to share their experiences. I'm looking at potentially freezing some of my eggs, as I have endometriomas. I'm still undecided as to whether I want children

Private Dexa Scan
I have been on 40mg pred for 3 weeks for positive GCA.I have agreed to take weekly alendronic acid as advised by my rheumatologist, and took my first dose yesterday. I asked him about having a dexa scan. He says he will arrange a dexa scan when/if I am off steroids, which he says may be in 1 - 1.5

Alendronic Acid
Hi. I've been taking Alendronic Acid for 5.5 years with no problems. Now I'm told I need a treatment break for 2 years. Why would this be? I'm on Letrozole since March 2018 and have been having bone scans every 2 years since 2020.

Grade 3 Fatty Liver - Liver Enzymes keeps on elevating
Last month I was diagnosed with grade 3 fatty liver through an ultrasound. I am 27 & extremely obese ( BMI - 33 ) . Just before that I had a drug reaction which led to short term Hemolytic Anemia and Jaundice . At that time everything on my LFT was elevated . It's been 40 days everything else on my LFT

GCA confirmed after Ear pain
Just to let you know that the result of my temporal artery biopsy has been confirmed as positive today. I had the biopsy on monday, just 3.5 weeks after initially going to the GP with earache. I am amazed actually as it was a result of knowledge on this forum that prompted me to go back to my GP, after

Alendronic Acid and Methotrexate
I've had PMR for about two years. All symptoms vanished completely as soon as I was put on Prednisolone (15mg per day), but I had a bad experience with trying to reduce, as advised by both GPs and my rheumatologist, by large cliff-edge steps--from 15mg to 12.5mg, then 10mg, all in a very few weeks.

Osteoporosis
I had PMR from 2016-2019. Took Alendronic Acic for about 6 weeks but stopped because it was affecting my throat. Had bone density scan around 2017 which showed some osteoporosis and some osteopenia (record has been lost due to GP/house move). I was offered an Infusion of AA which I had in 2017/2018.

Alendronic acid
I’ve just achieved the slow taper down to 3mg and am feeling fine. But I’m just wondering about how long to stay on the AA for. (I’m taking into account the trauma of snapping a tooth off last night (a front one) when biting into a square of chocolate and not being able to see a dentist until Wednesday

severe osteoporosis and op drugs
is there people on here with L5 t12 who don't take any op drugs and take the risks of fractures, when I was dx I was told I must have zoledronic acid infusion to help me followed by prolia, I thought I was doomed unless I had treatment, I asked for another dexa scan before my 2nd infusion on the 25th

Update: Tooth Extraction delayed because of risks while on Alendronic Acid
my dentist now informs me that having digitised my tooth X-ray and reconsidered, it could be saved with root canal treatment by a specialist, cost £800 to £1000, starting with a consult of £100. Alternatively I could proceed with extraction, however he will not do it, he would refer me to an NHS hospital

Revisiting the Zoledronic acid pros & cons
Hi folks, I was offered zoledronic acid two years ago and was so freaked out by possible side effects that I declined. At the time I was at a much lower dose of Pred and naively thought I would be off it by now, that my calcium absorption would return to normal and I'd be able to rebuild my bones naturally

worst fears seem to be coming true.
Dear friends, I posted on here in March 2021 asking your advice as to whether I should even start on Teriparatide worrying about rebound fractures afterwards because I was told there was no other drug that I could safely take. The 2 years on Teriparatide ( Forsteo) passed far too quickly but interrupted

Hi all, I wonder if anyone on the forum is taking both Thyroxine and Alendronic Acid (AA)? I am taking a cocktail of drugs, as so many of us are, but have put off taking AA since diagnosed with PMR in 2022 - cannot believe where those 2 years went... I've been on Thyroxine (150 mcg/daily) for nigh
