So at my quarterly oncologist visit last week, I learned for the first time that once you've suffered osteonecrosis of the jaw, it's much more likely to recur. Consequently, they probably won't restart my quarterly Xgeva (bisphosphenate) shot, so my osteopenia and crumbling spinal vertebrae will do what

Puzzled
My Internist as of late seemed fit to be tied with me for not starting a course of anabolic bone building medications ("50% of people die after breaking a hip ..."). I have delayed due to two gum procedures, one of which the Endodontist wants to see me back in June to see if it was successful. I may

More Challenges to Overcome!
Some of you may recall that for some years, I've frequently experienced ectopic beats. They've been calmed down with a lowish dose of a beta blocker (Propranolol) and don't usually give me too much cause for concern......until about a week ago when they re-emerged, but with a different manifestation

Wisdom tooth extraction on Apixaban
I know this is a well worn path!! As I was having extraction with dentist I'd never met, I specifically asked his preference and was told to continue Apixaban as normal.I did omit this morning's dose in spite of that. He was a super star asked if I'd eaten then said "I understand you've had conflicting

Heavy cold
Apologies if this seems quite trivial but I have had a heavy cold for the past 2/3 days which at present is getting worse. Have tested negative for Covid so no concerns about that so I’m just wondering whether to miss my medication tomorrow or whether it won’t make any difference. I take 20mg MTX but

Tooth extraction...again!
Got to have an upper tooth extracted on Tuesday. I take edoxaban 30mg. Last time I am almost sure I didn't have to stop taking it and there were no problems. I phoned the dentist to check and he said ask your GP. I KNOW i asked my GP last time and was told "ask your dentist".....but despite this

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

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

tooth extraction - Pred increase?
I am having a large molar extracted on Friday next. I have tapered down from 20mg per day beginning of May 2023 to 7mg for last week. This is my first tooth extraction for some 15 years and my biggest molar (which has cracked) which caused an infection, now on antibiotics for 5 days. Should I increase
