How big are AA tablets
I am considering trying weekly alendronic acid tablets but am worried they will be too big for me to swallow since I have dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Please, what shape and how long/wide are the tablets people take? Note that there are good reasons why I should not have infusions. Meds involving

Prepping for a frozen cycle
Hello all Could I please ask whether anyone has used the Optibac probiotics for a fresh cycle or a frozen cycle? I hadn’t heard of them until recently. If so which ones did you choose or which did your clinic suggest to use? I’m guessing intimate flora for women which suggest they reach the womb. The

Rescue pack
Has anyone noticed a difference in recovery time for chest infection following the reduction in antibiotics and steroids in rescue pack from 7 days to 5, 2 flare ups have resulted in needing 2 lots of rescue pack.

10dp5dt BFN what more can I do?
hi there so we decided to test this morning with FRER and it’s the all too familiar stark one single line. Not even a glimmer of a second line. I think I’m out. This was our last embryo and was a 5AB. I did an endometrial scratch, I was down regulated on buserelin, my progesterone levels were good and

steroids and diuretics
we may need to discuss some diuretics with the GP. Mum is currently receiving some respite care and her legs are becoming swollen….they’re not as good as insisting on the elevation as I do at home. I notice there’s a bit of a flag with prednisolone and furosemide due to potassium issues. Has anyone

Light on the horizon?
On Thursday I attended my PMR/GCA Support Group meeting in Southend. Prof Dasgupta came to speak to us and I thought some of you might be interested to hear what he had to say. It was a talk that certainly gave hope for a change in attitudes and therefore a change in treatment pathways. He firstly

Bad Back
Been off Prednisone for six weeks after a four year journey. Before PMR and Prednisone I suffered with my back but whilst on steroids I didn’t. I have had a painful and stiff back for the last week and am tempted to try my remaining Pred tablets for a couple of days. Any thoughts on this please ?

Steroids or Intralipids or both?
Hi everyone, I’m about to start my next FET cycle. After repeated implantation failures I had all the tests (EMMA ALICE ERA and NKC) I have natural killer cells so they want to put me on steroids and the Intralipids. I know all this is considered a bit experimental by HFEA and it’s on their red/ grey

Not always Polymyalgia!
I am lucky with my rheumatologist. At a recent appointment I mentioned that turning my head from side to side was painful. She set me up for an immediate neck x-ray, saying that if the stiffness was due to another cause it would give me confidence to continue reducing the steroids - I’m currently on

immunotherapy damaging kidneys
hi My mother has been having successful treatment for stage 3 lung cancer, but the immunotherapy has negatively affected her kidneys, so she is having steroids and they have said they cannot continue to offer the immunotherapy. We are awaiting a scan appointment & they may then discuss radiotherapy,
