Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Avatar n tn Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Avatar m tn The prescription drug Fosamax (the generic is alendronate sodium) is a medication which has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of postmenopausal women to treat osteoporosis and help increase bone mass thereby reducing the chance of spinal or non-spinal fractures. Fosamax has also been prescribed to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis. Brand name Fosamax is manufactured in the United States by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
Avatar m tn The authors examined the effects of high-dose oral alendronate (40 mg daily) for 6 months on 3 adult patients with intractable headache due to fibrous dysplasia of the skull. Each patient had disease processes not amenable to surgery. The patients underwent clinical follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. Their pain levels were documented at each visit by using a visual analog scale. All 3 patients demonstrated a significant decrease in pain levels and became independent of scheduled analgesics.
Avatar f tn t find them particulaly helpful. My class just covered what I had already read in the 1 pregnancy book I bought so I talked to the instructor and stopped going.
Avatar f tn I am also taking Aromasin for bc. Stopped alendronate (I am osteopenic due to 30 yrs of prednisolone and Arimidex) in case this caused the oesophagitis. Would appreciate your advice.
Avatar f tn thankyou,i am with contact of my doctor ,he said there is no solution for damaged vertibras,but calcium and vitiman d and alendronate sodium/cholecaiciferol tablets will help spine and bones from further damages but what to do with prednisones i cant stop them because of asthma and taking of them will damage other bones isnt there any other solution instead of prednisones, i know there is nothing accept these because my doctor told me:(

Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.

Avatar n tn For my bones I take Calcium+vitamin D, and once weekly Novo Alendronate which is the equivalent of what you are taking now.My surgeon told me that it's very important for me to take Arimidex because it lessens considerably the estrogen that the body produces thus diminishing the chances of recurrence or developing a new tumor.Personally I would prefer not taking any drugs, but since I have very little side effects, I will continue taking this medication for the next 4 years.
Avatar f tn FTM as well, I'm taking classes, the natural birthing class, breastfeeding and New parents class.
10221785 tn?1410990458 Off to my first breastfeeding class. Super excited and cant wait to learn about this experience that I will be having in 11 weeks with my son (: ♡ anyone else take a class? How was it?
10665671 tn?1413744449 If you are worried, see if there is one you can schedule earlier. You can often find them at area hospitals and through the county resource centers.
Avatar f tn Did you still go to birthing class even though you were having a scheduled c section? I just wanna know if I should go or would it be a waste of time/money.
Avatar n tn Often children who use these methods of diversion are trying "to cover up" that they are unable to do the class work. Have you discussed this possibility with his teacher?
Avatar f tn Can you go by yourself to a childbirth class? My hubby would go.but if he takes off a Saturday he's losing 150$ off his paycheck. Money we need right now. The class said per couple so I was assuming you'd need to go with a partner. I do not have anybody that's close like that to go with me either. I have way more acquaintances then actual friends right now.
Avatar f tn So u feel stupid asking this but I want to go to a birthing class and it said to bring 2 birthing pillows.
Avatar f tn I'm going to take a breastfeeding class and the pregnancy class. I'm a FTM and neither of us (husband and I) have been around young children or in the L&D section of the hospital. So even if i don't get a tun of info, I feel any is better than none. But then again we are the kinda people that are always over prepared.

Avatar n tn Is there a class action suit pending or being organized against manufactuers of ReStor IOL multifocal lenses?
Avatar f tn Random question starts with some rambling but I'll get to the point soon I promise. I'm a first time mom and I'm 36 weeks pregnant and 5 days. I'm due December 25. So today I went to my first birthing class and I brought a list of questions which the instructor answered everything. I'm the only woman in the class that is due this month the others are due in January and February.
7559418 tn?1393386476 Health class is nothing compared to being pregnant! LOL I didn't realize how much vaginal discharge you can have during the pregnancy. Panty liners become your best friend. In my second trimester my boobs always leaked and that never stopped.
Avatar n tn I want an all natural birth, no epidural or pain meds. So because of that i decided to take the class. It has helped me to relax a lot easier than if I wasn't taking the class. Looks like I am going to have a c-section so I won't get to put it to use but I'm glad I went anyways.
Avatar f tn Have any of you ladies attended ?
