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>.
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 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. It, not very large & seems to be same size this first week.
I'm with Shelley on this........ I, too, cringe when I hear Sally Fields rave about Boniva.......
Studies have shown that high levels of FT3 cause bone loss - that would be as Shelley said - the swings from hyper to hypo. I lived in those swings, as well, only I didn't know it at the time, because all my doctors labeled me as hypochondriac and let it go; they refused testing for anything........When it was all said and done, I, not only had pernicious anemia, but was hypo, to boot....
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?
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.
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.
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.
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. She is a creature of habit and eats and does the same things every day. She is 90 yrs old and still very able and mobile.
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 100.0 nmol/l)
Osteocalcin: 19.49 (Range: 11.00 to 43.00 ng/ml)
B-CTx: . 265 (Range: ???)
Parathormone: 30.02 (Range: 15.00 to 65.00 pg/ml)
Calsium 2.
ve dyed my hair while preg n no.cause for concerns...all my kids r fine. If ur still scared sally beauty supply carries henna dyes without ammoinia its really jus breathing in the harsh smells.
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 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'm worried about breast cancer with continuing the hormones. I had a partial mastectomy on my right breast which was benign. I had a cluster of microcalcifications which looked supicious, but turned out to be benign (big sigh)! Okay now my question.
I cannot take the Boniva that has been prescribed for me as I also have Gastroparesis. I only take Lipitor right now. I was on Tapezole for 4 years because I also have
Graves Disease.
Welcome to the forum. We will help you get through this. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly. Everything will be okay. Did the doctor say you have antibodies to Hep C (HCV)? If so, you may not have an active case. You'll have to do a PCR test to determine that. Also, be sure to find a hepatologist (liver doctor) or at least a GI who specializes in treating HCV.
Even if you do have an active case, HCV is a very slow progressing disease and curable.
Also forgot to mention that last December my gyno put me on Boniva as according to my last two dexascans my numbers have dropped drastically. I am very worried about taking the Boniva. The first week after I take it I feel like I am coming down with the flu. Can all these issues be related to the thyroid?
They are given generally prescribed orally and include Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva. They can cause some severe stomach distress as they did for my father. When this happens there are injectable forms of bisphosphonates.
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.
