boniva once a year

00, 2 hours ago To: Dr. Ray Oyakawa Thank you for your response. I noted that for the last several months whenever I took Boniva I had significant swelling under both eyes. Thus, when this past Sunday, 5/23 I developed the papilloma on my left lower eyelid (center) which at first seemed to have a point on top & next day became more elongated I thought Boniva. I would appreciate any feedback as to cause & what possible treatment.

I just looked up Boniva. Noticed your age as well. From what I see on the site, it is a once a month pill not a daily one. If you have had a bone density scan recently and it shows osteoporosis, then it would be wise to take it, otherwise I would wonder about the endo pushing it on you. They might be swayed by your age and automatically assuming you have osteoporosis.

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>.

I developed osteoporosis (only 52) and my gyno-onc had me see an endocrinologist. I now take Boniva- once monthly plus a mult-vit, calcium, and vit-D twice a day. My last scan showed improvement. He wanted me to go on hormone replacement but my gyno-onc would not hear of it.

A related discussion, <a href='/posts/show/1251709'>Boniva cause of pappiloma conjunctiva</a> was started.

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.

Ibandronate (Boniva injection) is injected into your vein once every three months, and zoledronic acid (Reclast) is injected once a year. If approved by your physician these treatments do not cause stomach distress and you do not have to remember to take a tablet. If these are the injections or "shots for osteoporosis" that your mom's physician is discussing there are fairly well know and widely used.

does anyone take Boniva and how bad were the side effects

One of my patients asked me a question that I cannot find a reasonable answer to. She has always had regular bowel movements. Once every morning and once in the afternoon. Lately she has had an increase in her BMs. She does not have any cramping, but they are watery. This all started when she began to take Boniva several months ago. She stopped taking it 2 months ago. I have suggested that it has not all left her system yet and this may take some time. She has not changed her diet or any meds.

There are also newer drugs out that only require administration once/year or every six months; Prolia is a shot, administered every 6 months; Reclast is injected via IV, once/year. I'm not sure about Reclast, but I do know that Prolia comes with a whole set of possible side effects. I looked into these for my elderly aunt, who had tried Boniva and Actonel, unsuccessfully.

In the last 13 months I have lost my father (87 yrs old), my mother (85 yrs) and a very dear friend that I grew up with. I have a very stressful job 45-55 hrs a week. In November of last yr I noticed the symptoms again and started the process again. went from 2.5 on the thyroid test to over 9. At that time I was on 100's. Dr switched me to 112's. Six weeks later test results were 5.5. Dr switched me to 125's. After 6 weeks had another test.

I just went for a Dexa-Scan for my Osteoporsis. The technician looked at my med list and asked if I am taking Boniva and Synthroid. I answered yes. I take other meds other than those two she mentioned. I told her that I understood why she asked about the Boniva but I didn't understand why she asked about Synthroid. She told me that thyroid meds take from the bones and causes osteoporosis. WHAT??? How come no doctor ever told me?

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?

t until April, so there would be enough of a space to be able to start Boniva is the bone doctor thought it was a doable plan. I don't want to be on biophosphates for a long chunk of time because of the side effects long term with them. The hormone therapy is not something that I will even entertain. I have had a hysterectomy and have no ovaries ever since age 37. I was on hormones until age 50.

I'm 33 years old and as a child and teen I can rememeber getting the stomach flu at least once a year but as I got into my late 20's I didn't seem to get the stomach flu every year. But I had at last winter and I just got over it again today. I was up all night vomiting (yellow/greenish mucus) but not any food. It just lasted 24 hours but I still took off work a 2nd day to recuperate. My question is, is it common for an adult to get the stomach flu once a year?

This happens to me too, once a year, sometimes once every two years. Ive been to a neurologist and several other doctors but they have not found anything wrong with me. Next stop is an ear,throat, and nose specialist, according to the er doctor i just saw today it could be stones in my nose inbetween my ears, hmmm. sounds weird but I need to figure out what is causing this. I will let you know what they say.

s and I have always had a normal 3-5 day monthly menstral cycle until the last 4 years I have been having a menstral cycle once every year. I have no idea why. Since I this has happened to me I have had rapid weight gain, bachaches, headaches & mood swings. My stomach swells up every so often. I get alot of lower abdomen pain. My mood swings are horrible. I have been to a gynocologist who tested me twice for my thyroid and other test whcih all came out fine.

I have a female friend in Ukraine, who is getting very conflicting medical advice. Her primary issue is the loss of bone in her jaw, leaving some teeth loose. But her bone density tests (I think) are fine. One physican gave her Synthroid, another told her to stop. One perscribed Boniva, another said no, cause she is a young lady. Here are her labs. Any comments? Bone Marker Tests: TP1NP: 26.57 (Range: 20.00 to 100.0 ng/ml) Vitamins D: 42.27 (Range: 50.00 to 100.

I was diagnosed with osteopenia (50 & postmenopausal) a year ago. Because of my GERD, my doctor prescribed an IV infusion of Reclast. Unfortunately, I suffered some of the side effects, fever, and severe bone pain to the point of not being able to take in a full breath. My doctor was so concerned he put me on a steroid dose pack to reduce the reaction. My body doesn't seem very tolerant of any drugs, couldn't take anything other than extra strength Tylenol for a foot surgery.

in order to treat osteo you need to be on fosmax/ boniva or like substances and have hrt. your doctor you should sue.... because he perscribed it while having the knowledge of your bone health knowing it decreases the amount of calcium in your bones.

I do take Actonel once per month. It does not upset my stomach but I do hate that morning each month. I get up, take the pill with 8 oz of water and have to stay sitting up for 30 minutes. This is not easy for me without caffeine :) While I have had stomach problems off and on, because of the omniprazole, I seem to do ok. I understand the concern about the impact on your kidneys. For awhile I was on methotrexate and had to go in every month to have my liver checked.

Hi, Rita. I don't have osteoporosis, but I do have osteopenia (less than 2.5 standard deviations off). Have been treating this for many years, first with Boniva, then with Reclast. I'm way overdue for another Reclast infusion. For the last one, I didn't feel great for a day or so afterwards, but it wasn't all that bad either. I really doubt that this has anything to do with MS meds. It's largely hereditary, but aside from that, who knows?

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?

I had the Nissen, but not because of the osteo but because I was coughing so hard my blood pressure went through the roof, was not on BP meds before - now am. I now take once a month Boniva and feel so much better. The Nissen is still working great - operation 10/2008.

I would suggest that first of all, mom has a COMPLETE workup with blood tests, urine tests, etc. Secondly, I know a few older people that have been taking a safe medication for sleeping called "TRAZADONE." They fall asleep within about 15 minutes to one-half and hour and end up sleeping well throughout the entire night.

My seemingly healthy 14 year old daughter has had nausea with vomiting once per week in the mornings for the past 3 weeks along with a little acidity feeling in her stomach. NO she is not pregnant. She sleeps for a few hours then feels fine. No fever or any other symptoms except for the nausea and feeling weak & tired. What could be causing this? I can't keep her home from school once a week.
