Is it really necessary to take Alendronic Acid with these results?
I am 72 years old and have been diagnosed with osteoporosis/osteoporotic (Iam not sure which as the report refers to both). The results of my tests are as follows:- Indication: PTH Risk Factor: Excess alcohol, fractured wrist age 64, maternal hip fracture, Secondary Osteoporosis (PTH) Medication

Low PTH
Has anyone had low PTH levels? My last three months levels have been low and just now stopped Calcitrol on neph recommendation. My phosphorus and calcium are both within range so I'm not sure what's causing it. I see my primary doc on Mon and I'll ask her but was curious as to anyone else having this

I have abnormal pth after 5 years of rising. My Calcium and Vit D are normal. Prescribed calciferol 2x week. Any way to lower pth naturally?

So, this is my journal though my first time on dialysis. You can see the replies if you can get on the HealthUnlocked for Kidney Dialysis. I know

First dialysis.... not for a wuss
As I promised, I am going to document my journey as I have done before. Now it is hemodialysis. Holy mackerel. Anyone who thinks this is easy, let them sit in the chair for a turn and see what they think. My husband came with me and will be attending the training with me for the next five weeks. I am

Endo appointment, T3 results at last and hyperparathyroidism possible
Thanks for your replies to my previous post and also the advice that I should investigate hyperparathyroidism. I saw the endocrinologist today and apparently my July '23 results (which I hadn't been told, and certainly they'd never mentioned they'd do T3) were: TSH: 0.02 (0.27-4.2) T4: 20.5 (12-

Lab work
Got my labs yesterday and. Was happy to see how well they were. ALB is still low but coming up. Kt/v was 2.41 not sure how they do that on hemo but I’ll take it. Potassium and phosphorus are in range as is hemoglobin. My PTH was low so I need to stop the calciteol. Since my BP at dialysis on Thursday

Advice on halting bone loss following Dexa and hrt or other supplements.
Thyroid cancer at 23, high dose T4 requiring propranolol for 17 years, then battles over dosage post menopause as rules changed. T3, when measured, always seemed to be at a good level. I didn't take HRT as it was at the height of the cancer scare. I regret it now. Sjogrens and very low vitamin D diagnosed

Does Afib have a connection with Hyperparathyroidism
I've had AF for 20 years .2 .5 years ago I had blood tests for Calcium and PTH after breaking a wrist chopping down Olive trees. I was diognosed with Hyperparathyroidism as the calcium was high and the PTH high as well as a dexa scan showing osteopenia, following this I had to have a couple of stents

Help! Doctor has refused my Pred repeat request.
I started on 20 mg of Prednisolone 6 years ago, and after several failed attempts to get lower, have remained at 5mg daily for a year now. After the (enjoyable!) stress of my 90th birthday party a few days ago, I got the old familiar Polymyalgia shoulder ache, so I took an extra 5mg for 5 days and

Help for appointment.
Hi, I have my first actual face to face appointment with my Endo on Tuesday next week since lock down. I had written to him a few months back to say I wasn't feeling particularly great, and I pointed out my just in range T4 and said I think I would benefit with an increase in my Levothyroxine and maybe

GP won't diagnose despite abnormal test results, what should I do next?
OK, so I've been feeling awful since Oct/Nov last year, I have so many hypothyroid symptoms (its like going down the tick list saying yes, yes, yes), but it's got to the point where I'm now working half my normal hours because my fatigue is so bad, I have awful brain fog and I have pain in my muscles

Amino acid complex, is it worth trying?
I have been seeing more and more about amino acids and the possible benefits for those with hypothyroidism. Their importance for conversion, also their benefits regarding liver health. I'm also type2 diabetic, it seems there may be benefits there too. Have any of you looked into this? If so are there

Rituximab and Denosumab
Has anyone had a Denosumab injection after having a Retuximab infusion. I have just had my second infusion and due a Denosumab injection soon. Just read that Denosumab can increase the risk of serious infection with Rituximab. Rheumatology have said that it's OK, but I don't trust them.
