Zometa with or without Radium 223?
Hi I have done 1 year with Zometa alongside Docetaxel and more recently Radium 223. I'm halfway through the Radium 223 course but have been advised that after a year, Zometa has reached maximum effectiveness and should be stopped. After a rocky start I'm feeling much better and much less frail.

Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of Radium 223, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals. I'd be grateful for any experience or advice

Feeling hopeless
I was seen in the ER and given
Valium
. They ruled out stroke, vitamin deficiencies, etc. My primary prescribed a new anxiety med to try. I am going to see a neurologist also. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had symptoms like this due to only anxiety.

Newly Diagnosed
I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in July of 2018. I was told to continue with Vitamin D and Calcium daily. It did absolutely nothing. After doing some research, and with the numbers I had, I should have definitely been scanned again before 3 years/3 months later. November 2021 my left femur went "up"

Advice about plan of treatment
I am 67, was diagnosed with PMR 2 weeks ago after 4 weeks of symptoms (stiffness and pain in neck, arms, shoulders, couldn't raise arms above shoulders, immense tiredness etc). Initial GP contact was excellent - he identified the problem, blood tests same day, consult 2 days later to confirm diagnosis

What does this mean: Elevated calcium score 893 predominantly involving LAD and RCA 11/2022
Cardiologist said: "Elevated calcium score of 893 predominantly involving LAD and RCA. His stress nuclear study was unremarkable. His prior angiogram was unremarkable. He will add baby aspirin and statin given the elevated calcium score. Last LDL was 121 mg/dL. PVCs-he does not have active ischemia

Low Platelet, WBC, Lymphocyte etc
Good morning, I was wondering whether it is normal for those of us with UAT/Hashimotos to have low counts on these things? Whenever I get a full test done they come back slightly low or borderline. These are the ones I'm generally low or borderline on (since around 2012) : Lymphocyte count - last

I have osteoporosis and I took Fosamax for a while and then lost 6 teeth! I stopped taking it a while ago, but my back is giving me grief now. I am taking calcium and Vitamin D, but I need to find out whether there are any alternatives to alendronic acid.

New to the group
I have been taking prednisolone for PMR for nearly 4 weeks and have my first review this week - I'm feeling fab since starting on pred - not taking any supplements yet - should I be asking about calcium and vitamin D at my review appointment?

Beta Blockers vs. Calcium Channel Blockers - Which causes weight gain?
I have been on the beta blocker Carvedilol for several years now because of high blood pressure and to help control my ectopic heartbeats (Premature Atrial Contractions), and it seems I have a difficult time keeping my weight down. I'm not sure if it could be related to the Carvedilol. I'm considering

Need help finding Diet App for tracking dietary intake
Hi. I have been monitoring my intake but no formal or efficient way to track daily intake: protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, sugar, fat, calories, etc.I also track water intake, which is much easier. I've been writing down what I eat, but this is so time consuming. Does anyone know of
