Recommendations regarding meds and exercise with osteoporosis.
Hi Everyone! A few questions I would like to comment on….It was suggested to me by a physical therapist who specific osteoporosis about a book written by Jen Guenther, an OBGYN in Canada, to read one of her books, The Menopause Manifesto, which debunks many of the myths regarding medications, exercise

Dexa scan results worse than last scan
Hello, I suppose I am hoping to get reassurance in some way but feel devastated by my third Dexa bone scan results after two years. My total spine is T -3.2 and T hip -1.4. My previous scan results were Total Spine T -2..6 and T Hip -1.4. I am awaiting a copy of the actual scan report. Following my

Best blood values
Already learned a lot in this forum and from other sources about optimal blood values for Vit D and B12. Just wonder if similar recommendations exist for zinc, selenium, iodine, iron and omega 3 and 6? I’m on WFPBD, take some supplements and check my blood values every three months, some more expensive

laparoscopy NHS waiting time
Hi, I had my appointment with a specialist last week, and it went better than I expected. She went through everything with me, all my symptoms and everything I've tried to do to relieve the pain. She said as the meds given to me for PCOS were ineffective, she thinks its endo and has booked me in for

DEXA scan....success
I asked for a DEXA scan a few months in to my PMR/GCA journey around 3.5 years ago. Thanks to the good advice on this forum I wanted to get a reading before I started with Alendronate. My gp felt it was unnecessary but I stood my ground. I was diagnosed with osteopaenia and so have been taking Alendronate

Can you really reverse osteoporosis naturally?
In November, I received my 1st
zoledronic
acid
infusion. I haven’t had any adverse reactions, thank goodness, but you can only take
zoledronic
acid
for a few years and I would much rather try to build my bones on my own.

Latest visit to the Rhemy
I'm on 8mg steroids, 15mg methotrexate (to get me off the steroids) and Alendronic Acid for OP. My neck and wrists have been in getting worse as I reduce. I wake up with wrists throbbing and am finding it hard to dress myself again. I thought by reducing to 8mg the specialist would be happy but also

Co Enzyme Q10 & Alpha Lipoic Acid : good anti oxidants or not helpful bad ideas? Do they extend Healthspan or reduce inflammation?
I take both. I just ordered more regrettably as I’m now reconsidering the evidence behind both. I know many others on HU take them as well. What is the science to explain why? My reason for taking ALA is a lame one. Dr. David Sinclair does. But as I look in to this more I think that maybe neither

Sense-check, Hashi Swings, and inability to lose weight
I just wanted to sense check my plan for optimising my health, considering my latest blood tests have arrived. So scroll down to blood tests, as first, I am providing all sorts of contexts for reference. In short, I have Hashimotos and have been testing at least twice per year with Medichecks. Bio

Newlyish Diagnosed Grateful to find this website
Hi Everyone, I went to my GP back in November thinking I had either an ear or sinus infection, thankfully she was on the ball and after taking something like 10 vials of blood she sent me home with 60mg perisdione to start immediately with a suggested diagnosis of GCA. I think at that point I wasn't

Feeling really down
I have recently started treatment for recurring cancer.Rubrac a didn't work for me and I have already had Carbo/Taxol and Carbo/Caelyx. As my son and his family are visiting from New Zealand in July (prompted by my increasing ill health) I decided to try Anastrazole tablets rather than weekly Taxol,

Confused about osteoporosis treatment
Hi all, in 2019 whilst lifting my suitcase at the airport I had a horrendous pain in my lower back. Fast forward a few months finally got a x-ray which showed a compression fracture of L2. Finally got a dexa scan in April 2021 and confirmed osteoporosis of the spine with a T score of -3.9. My doctor

Osteoporosis at 29
Hi all, I’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and I’m 29. This came about as I realised my toe was broken but didn’t have a clue how it happened so went to A&E. They x rayed it said it was fractured and also said my foot density looked on the lower side and to follow up with the GP. I did that and

Alendronic acid quandary
After a recent DEXA scan I have found that I have osteopenia of the hips and some osteoporosis at L3 and L4. My doctor has put me on Alendronic acid tablets and 1200 mg calcium supplements(Adcal D3). After the first six days I had constipation and consequent haemorrhoids. I took the alendronic acid and

Flare following Prolia?
Good morning, everyone! I wonder if anyone else has had problems following a denosumab (Prolia) injection. I was first diagnosed with PMR in 2015, and at that point, was told to discontinue the alendronic acid that I had been on for many years because it had been discovered it was not the “wonder drug

Bone Scan advice
Hello all, just a quick query . I've been on pred since the beginning of March , currently 12.5mg. I'm on Alendronic Acid too. I have been on Letrozole since my Mastectomy in June 2019. I had a bone scan then which is standard when starting something like Letrozole as it increases osteoporosis risk.
