boniva in the news

Bisphosphonates like Boniva have been associated rarely with uveitis. You would experience ocular pain, blurred vision, light sensitivity, loss of vision and possibly glaucoma if you had uveitis. Your ophthalmologist would be able to tell you right away if you had any uveitis and the Boniva could be discontinued if that were the case.

I noted that for the last several months whenever I took Boniva I had significant swelling swelling under both eyes. I wondered if this was due to the salt content of the Boniva, The swelling reduced in 24 hours. This has occured every time I have taken the Boniva, which is once monthly.

Is boniva a possible cause of papilloma virus on the eyelid going into the conjunctiva? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/643900'>uveitis of the eye caused by Boniva</a>.

My bone density results are OK. I suppose the fact that I had a TT is the reason for the Boniva perscription. Or maybe it is just because of my age.

does anyone take Boniva and how bad were the side effects

I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and have noticed that recently I have a lot of pain in my teeth and jaw. This has prompted me to wonder if osteoporosis affects the teeth in general as they are inbedded in bone? And how so?

Late yesterday afternoon, around 17:30, received a call from a Genentech rep saying the alcohol pads that come in the interferon kit maybe contaminated with a bacteria. I didn't write down the name of the bacteria sooo.. the maker of the pads is Triad. They also make pads under different names, like Topco .. Did anyone else get a similar notice?

I suggest that you take the time to read this article, written by a good thyroid doctor, to send to patients that have been consulting with him from a distance. The letter is sent to the PCP of the patient, to help guide treatment. I think you will find paragraph 4 to be very insightful for you on this subject. http://hormonerestoration.com/files/ThyroidPMD.

I had mild osteopenia prior to my OVCA dx in Mar. 2004. I was told that it would worsen after the chemo (carbo/taxoterre), and it did. Not terribly, but a decrease in bone mass just that same. I started on Boniva and my cholesterol shot up about 120 points. I just stopped that recently and my numbers dropped by 80 points. Seems there are downsides for everything. Now taking Viactiv with vitamins D & K, 3 chews a day. Will have another bone density next April.

I have had very little problems with Prolia. I've done 4 injections over the past 2 years. Just a little bit of bone pain for the first 2 wks after the injection then, it goes away. That said, unfortunately, for me, my DEXA did not improve and my osteoporosis in my spine (the T-score) did not get better. Now, my doctor is sending me to a 'bone' clinic that apparently specializes in bone disorders such as osteoporosis.

Thanks for the input everybody! Interestingly, I just found this link on osteoporosis and MS: http://ms.about.com/od/livingwellwithms/a/osteoporosis_ms.htm. Doesn't really say anything we didn't already know, but kinda weird it popped up today .... :) I'll ask my neuro, when I see him for the Tysabri next week, if there's a connection with that and the severity of the osteoporosis, but I don't think there is.

extremely swollen right leg especially around knee joint - could not even bend knee, terrible hip pain and two days later a tooth abscess. What are the chances I can tolerate Boniva once a month? My Endocrinologist wants me to try it.

The New York Post today has said that there is a push for the 9/11 Trial to go to Govenor's Island , A lower Manhatton Community board called on fed officails yesterday to move the trail of the terrorists to Govenor's Island and passed a resolution demanding the shift, in a hearing with Downtown Residents who loathe the idea of the threats that would ensue and the lockdown it would involve, this makes sense to me , what say you ....

I have given her some 5000 IU vitamine D, which if taken daily gets up to the 50,000 per week. Gave her some calcium and a good multi-vitamine also. And yes, she should take Synthroid, but her Ukrainian doctors are mis-advising her, saying that her lab results are "in range" even if they are all on the absolute low of the range. I think the Synthroid would help her absorbe the calcim. She has gotten very bad advice, and she will suffer forever because of it.

because he perscribed it while having the knowledge of your bone health knowing it decreases the amount of calcium in your bones.

ve been on Prempro over 10 years and understand this could be the cause of the benign cysts. For the last couple years or so I've been on a very low dose (0.3-1.5). I am 62 + 6 months old, so I'm well past menopause and feel I don't need hormones any longer. I was taking the hormones to help my bones, as I have osteopenia and rheumatoid arthritis. I am on prescription drugs to help the bones (Boniva and calcium and vit. d).

I am 65 years old. I have had thyroid issues since I was in my 20's. About 5 years ago I started feeling horrible. Couldn't walk up and down steps, always tired. heart beating faster, needles and pin feeling in arms and legs. gained a lot of weight. back and leg problems. family dr sent me to a heart specialist, they took all kinds of tests and found nothing wrong. family dr took blood tests, cbc, can't remember what else. It took about 6 months to find out what was wrong.

m sorry, first of all, that your mom is having the sleeping problems. In the end, that affects every day because without a decent sleep, it is hard to function. I liked the honey and milk and that solution as it sounds nice and natural which I wish everything could be to help all of us with medical issues. However........just in case it does not work........I would suggest that first of all, mom has a COMPLETE workup with blood tests, urine tests, etc.

txt Check out this link! Every now and then I just google Chiari and see if it is in the news anywhere! Sounds like someone or everyone here should do a bit more research!

I read another article this morning in US News that tells that as HRT use continues to decline, the incidence of breast cancer and breast cancer precursors is declining as well. You can read the article at the following link: http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/11/12/less-hrt-fewer-cases-of-possible-breast-cancer.

I believe that my undiagnosed hashimotos may have contributed to my bone loss. All those months where I was living in the "hyper" swings of hashis the elevated thyroid hormones could very well have accelerated the bone loss. Some bone loss is natural as we age. We all cannot maintain the bone density of a medium framed 25 yr old (what they base the test scores on) I just received the results of a recent Dexascan.

Thyroid - not really unless it is killing off your parathyroid glands. Parathyroids are four little bean like glands buried in or near your thyroid They control the calcium uptake. Does your calcium supplement include vitamin D? Vitamin D is necessary for your body to absorb the calcium. Also, how old are you? My bones won't absorb enough calcium because I have no estrogen, had two parathyroids removed, and am on very high doses of thyroid replacement.

But the simplicity also allows people to become complacent or to ask for that little treatment pill they show in the news report without question, which we know all doctors are so well educated on treatment (insert sarcasm here). By the way, that treatment pill they show is Adefovir. Oh yeah, I also wrote Fiona Ma to show my support for her advocacy work. Will let you guys know if I get a reply.
