Is it really necessary to take Alendronic Acid with these results?
I am 72 years old and have been diagnosed with osteoporosis/osteoporotic (Iam not sure which as the report refers to both). The results of my tests and recommendations are as follows:- Indication: PTH Risk Factor: Excess alcohol, fractured wrist age 64, maternal hip fracture, Secondary Osteoporosis

hypothyroidism and peripheral neuropathy
I have hypothyroidism diagnosed in 2019 from a blood test with no symptoms that were recognised as such. I now believe, confirmed by advice in this forum, that my levo dose was too low, and have recently succeeded in getting it increased. At around the same time I developed aching, weakness and numbness

So who should I be angry with-
Myself for not catching this sooner. The pharmacy for not cross checking the drugs. Or the doctors. My hubby is taking a boat load of medication (like who isn’t when you have this disease). We have a spreadsheet of all the medications and we provide copies to

Dexa scan and low vitamin D
A GP at the surgery is insisting on a dexa scan as my TSH has been suppressed since I trialled T3, and she’s adamant I’m to reduce my levo dose (see my last two posts if more information needed). My question is, I had dire vitamin D levels of 22 and deficiency for I suspect at least 7 years whilst carrying

*Sensitive* OTD BFP
Today is our official test day and I can’t believe I’m writing this but we have our BFP, and our first dye stealer on the first response. This was our third transfer and last embryo. I don’t feel how I thought I would feel, I don’t feel excited yet, I’m just filled with anxiety like I’m waiting for something

Interaction of Statins with other medicine
Just looking for some guidance - is there any known interaction between statins and other medicine that one needs to be aware of? I am mostly interested in the usual stuff like antibiotics or vitamins, or stuff you usually get at the pharamacy for when you are under weather for minor conditions. Given

Now for something completely different
Monday, when you probably will see this post. Crack of dawn. I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical Prostatectomy on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather

Switching from Levothyroxine to Liothyronine
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I haven’t written on here for a while as I’ve been feeling quite well so hope you don’t mind me coming back to you now. Although I feel good on my current dose of thyroxine and definitely don’t feel I’m taking too much, my endocrinologist wants to lower my thyroxine

endometriosis or arthritis
Hi all, just to tell you a little something about me so that you understand why I’m asking this - I have pretty poor health: I have hypothyroidism, endometriosis, adenomyosis and my vitamin levels tend to be low so probably some difficulty with absorption - I supplement my vitamin d (20000 in weekly

help to understand test results
After a year of monitoring my TSH due to a bout of subacute thyroiditis, initially suspected as thyroid cancer. I am now at a point where my GP feels medication may be required and have undertaken an extensive range of blood tests through the GP I have an appointment on the 4th July to discuss options

Vit D again
The prescription for Vit D has come through at last after a week, and the GP has given me Stexerol-D3 1000 capsules with the instruction to take 4 a day. I looked at the very handy Vit D calculator suggested on here and is says 10,000 a day to get to a level in 3 months or 25000 to do a loading dose

Is thyroid causing my symptoms?
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice about my blood test results and whether thyroid issues could be the cause of my symptoms. Also if anyone can recommend a doctor in Cardiff / South Wales I’d really appreciate it. I’ve spent years trying to manage and believing (being told) my symptoms are due to anxiety

Daily multivitamins do not help people live longer, major study finds
The taking of general multivitamins has long been questioned here on this forum. The article specifically identifies iron: [i]Meanwhile iron, which is added to many multivitamins, can lead to iron overload and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia.[/i] I think we'd also advocate
