Still Having Symptoms From Infusion May 16
Is anyone else really tired STILL after 3 and a half months since infusion.
Most of the ugly symptoms are gone but my hands are still stiff many days. Not a symptom previously in my life.
Just turned 78 and have a big yard and garden.
This tiredness just hits all of a sudden and I have to lay down.
Also have problems with bright light especially when driving.
A serious lack of doctors here to treat this problem

Thoughts On Boniva?
Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm still trying to work out how this site works, but here is my question
I have been prescribed Boniva, a monthly pill. I have been diagnosed a year ago, at a very young age (29) and I have been postponing taking the medication because I'm afraid of the listed side effects. However, my recent DEXA showed that my scores are getting worse and I'm really afraid of fractures. I have osteoporosis both in my spine and in my hips. I'm young and active and tried to… read more
I have been on Boniva going on three years now. I don't have any side effects. When I had bone scan this year it was actually doing better. 😊

Has Anyone Had A Few Vertebral Compression Fractures (I Have 7) Plus Moderate Bilateral Facet Arthropathy From L4-5 And L5-S1?
I’ve just received the x-ray results from last week. I had sudden onset of lower back pain, with some thoracic pain as well. My two worst compression fractures, T12 and L1 have become even worse. I had spent roughly 4 hours walking around a zoo, sitting down off and on to rest my back. This may have been the cause?

You’re a physician will do a x-ray. He has to before you can see an orthopedic specialist.
Does Anyone In The Group Have Lupus Or/and Anti Phospholipid Syndrome?
I have both and have recently found out that lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE) can cause osteoporosis. My rheumatologist has never told me that, I found it out on Google. Lupus can cause many horrible side effects and I get a lot of them, but osteoporosis was never mentioned. 🙁
No one ever told me that I would end up looking nine months pregnant with triplets either due to kyphosis of the spine. I'm having to buy new clothes as all my old ones are too tight
I wonder how many other… read more
Wow, great information that I am sure most of us have never heard of before
