Alendronic Acid
Hi I've had PMR for over 4 years now and am on 3mg pred. as the last time I managed to reduce and come off pred. I had a flare up . I also take Alendronic Acid. I've had toothache in a lower back molar on and off for the past year and the dentist says I either need root canal work or have it extracted

Rheumatologist referral
Hi everyone I was diagnosed in October 2021 with PMR. I followed the doctors ‘normal’ reduction plan at first. I was able to get down to 5 mg with reasonable ease although I was never 100% free from some pain and stiffness but didn’t affect my qol . I then found this site and started to follow advice

PMR flare advice needed
I have messed up with dealing with a recent flare and would love your advice on where to go from here. I was stuck at 11mg Prednisolone for many months and then one day I felt a change. From then I have been able to taper at 0.5mg every 3 weeks. All was good until I got to 8.5mg. I did my usual - add

Alendronic Acid
I’ve been diagnosed with Osteopenia. About 7 months ago I was given vitamin d and calcium tablets which I am fine with. I was also given Alendronic acid which makes me feel very lethargic for a couple of days after taking. Has anyone else experienced this. I’m virtually at the point of deciding not to

Good news - alendronic acid
Hi, I thought I would share some good news. Three years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and started on alendronic acid with dome reluctance. After a rough first couple of weeks I got used to the medication. I modified my diet a bit, stsrting tsking Vit D and calcium, increased my BMI from 18.2

I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on Prednisone ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt

Affect of Alendronic acid if needing dental work?
This aspect bothers me as well as the implications of taking Alendronic acid. At age 81 after taking AA for about 18 months, I stopped it after I was prescribed HRT patches for another problem . Whilst HRT protects bones to a certain extent , I believe it doesn't increase bone density as does AA.
