Advice on dealing with endo symptoms and uncertainty about laparoscopy
Hi everyone, I would like some advise please on your endo symptoms. Mine started last year after a bad period accompanied by a water infection. I think I may have always had endo to some degree as I have always suffered terribly with period pain, but since having my daughter in 2017 my periods went downhill

Another problem!
I misread which run to do next. Thinking the run number was the one below the one in the blue circle when actually it must have been the the one in the blue circle so I missed out a couple of runs and then found myself having suddenly to have to run for 5 minutes! It nearly killed me but Sarah said that

Struggling to cope 😢
Hi 👋, I’m new on here. Just thought I’d share my story. I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis about 8 years ago now after years of being told ibs. I had keyhole surgery to remove the endometriosis. They then recommended the contraceptive pill which I was taking for 7 years then I had to stop taking

Decisions decisions
Had DEXA today and not good news (knew it wouldn’t be with 5 compression fractures already. Fracture risk with no treatment at least 24% over next 10 years. Consultant gave me choice of: Alendronate weekly but feels it’s not a good option as I already need a PPI just to take Naproxen Denosumab (Prolia

VITAMIN A REPAIRING AVEOLI
Why is it that we read of success they've had with lab animals using
retinoic
acid
(a derivative of vitamin A) in repairing alveoli and then they tell us NOT to eat carrots or drink carrot juice while they (researchers) conduct 35 more years of "research"?

Alendronic acid
Hi I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis due to a dexa scan result. I am starting on Alendronic Acid tomorrow morning. I know that taking Turmeric will not help with building new bones , but ive been told how good it is for lots of other things. I asked a lovely asian nurse what to take it

normal side effects??
My mum has had small nose bleeds, yesterday morning and today and has a strange metallic smell to her urine - does this sound familiar to anyone? She had got down to 20mg Pred and then a flair up happened - the only warning was a bit of tiredness then further - sudden, visual loss -she was

Prednisone & Bone loss
I have been taking Prednisone and Abiraterone for about 1 year. I just had a bone density scan and am told I now have osteoporosis. From what I read, it's a side effect of Prednisone. Any feedback on what the lowest useful dose can be of Prednisone? I.e., They are proposing I take > "initiate Alendronate

Is this normal when you start taking Ursodiol?
I was diagnosed February 16, 2020 with Stage 2 PBC. I have so many questions and would like to connect with someone in Virginia if possible to educate myself more with the symptoms. I started URSODIOL 500 mgs last week to get me started and I’ve felt so tired, nauseous, weak and vomiting. My joints are

Suppliments in the 2ww
Hey giris, i hope you are all having a good day so far. As you know im 1 day post transfer, and was wondering which of my suppliments i should stop taking 🤔. I thought probably nac and alpha lipoic acid but after looking it up they are both very beneficial during pregnancy and nac can reduce the risk

On the “horns of a dilemma” re Alendronic Acid 😳
Your thoughts/ experience would be welcome please. My situation: diagnosed with PMR Dec2019. Pred dose 15, increased to 17.5 for a couple of weeks, now symptoms controlled at 15 hoping to decrease to 13.5 next week. Blood tests also indicated I am pre-diabetic, just overweight with BMI 26. Now signed

Advice please?
Hi, I was told I had osteoporosis in May 2018. My scores were: Femur neck: T score -1.1, Z score -0.1 Spine: T score -2.5 Z score -1.4 Looking at the charts, my interpretation is that my hip is just in the osteopenia range and my spine just in the osteoporosis range. If it hadn't been that I started

Newbie!
Hi everyone, I’ve been using this app for a few other groups but new to this one! I’ve always had horrific periods, I remember watching embarrassing bodies when it first started and someone on there had endo. I went to the GP and she was so lovely and understanding, she agreed my symptoms sounded like
