Update Rheumatologist Appointment
what a pleasant surprise. Rheumatologist was very nice, kind, knowledgeable. He wasn’t miffed about me still on Steroids after 5 years. He said what a very low dose and good if it helps. Also said the steroids help with my bulging disc in my neck. Pleased that Vit D and calcium where good. Have

Wandering Scot presently living in Mexico and recently diagnosed with PMR
I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with PMR after being first told I had gout and then it was emotional. Pain in my neck and shoulders and exhaustion had been going on for about 9 months but I kept thinking I was sitting the wrong way at my computer or sleeping the wrong way so would take an over-the-counter

Best podcast and book resources I've found
I'm going to recommend a couple of podcast episodes and books for osteoporosis. There is so much information out there, and some of it may not be well researched. So this is what I've found most helpful so far. 1. The Bone Coach Episode #15 - He interviews Dr. Lara Giongregorio, Ph. D. who works

Wisdom on T3 dosage and calcium and T4
I have been given, I think, the lowest dosage of T3 - 5mg which I have to split in half to take twice a day (7 am and 12am). I understand dosage is based on weight but I could be wrong. I weigh 60kg (height 5’7”). I feel I need another dose at 5 pm or so as I start to yawn extremely and struggle to

Radium 223 -Is this tumour flare?
I started Radium 223 therapy on Tuesday and since then I suffered from general stiffness and pain from the back of the pelvis down to the lower leg. I was wondering if anyone else had suffered these symptoms and if it was tumour flare? Thanks

Esomprazole, stomach issues and calcium deficiency
When I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2021, I was prescribed Omeprazole and Alendronic Acid. The Omeprazole made sense as I have a history of stomach upsets. I resisted the AA until a DEXA scan identified osteoporosis and osteopenia. I switched to Risedronate because I could not tolerate the AA. I
