Avatar f tn 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>.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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. Thus, when this past Sunday, 5/23 I developed the papilloma (as diagnosed by my opthamalogist on the center of my left lower eyelid, which at first seemed to have a point on top & next day became more elongated, I thought of Boniva as a possible cause.
1026267 tn?1257591273 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.

Avatar f tn ) good luck to you! It is all so worth it!
Avatar f tn With children (and consequently custody and support issues to be decided) if she goes into court unrepresented she will not do well. By the way, $2600 is not particularly expensive and if you consider what is at stake here it is a small price to pay to protect her interests.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn She is 90 yrs old and still very able and mobile. She is on Lopressor 25mg, Mucinex 600mg, Aspirin 162mg, Aldactone 25mg, Lasix 20mg, OTC multivitamin, OTC calcium 500mg, and OTC iron. Her BP runs consistently in the 130's/70's with her pulse in the mid 60's.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve stopped the Prempro cold turkey and thus far, only side effect is a headache, tolerable. Is it better on the body to do a taper of the hormones rather than an abrupt stoppage? Thank you.
702707 tn?1228703861 They do have an assistance program for suboxone but if you have any kind of insurance you don't qualify. I know it is expensive, but the reason you are taking it is to get your life back and for that, there should be no price limit.
Avatar f tn Is cord blood banking? my best friend wanted to do it with her first but said it was wayyyyyy expensive. I really want to be able to do it for my little monkey.
7600327 tn?1393358885 For some reason all I wanna eat is Lobster & Steak. I'm about to wake my husband up right now, so he can take me to Joe's Crab Shack. I've been dreaming about their Lobster Daddy Feast. Are any of you ladies having this issue?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn With all the above history do you see anything that jumps out at you what my problem is. What other tests do you suggest. I just want to feel like my old self again. Tired of being tired, depressed, gaining weight and sometimes my brain feels "foggy" and I forget things. I know I need help but don't know what to do.
Avatar f tn My mom is having problem she is not being able to sleep , the dr gave her librax to be able to sleep. Even though sometimes she don't what should she do will she continue to sleep based on medicine knowing that not everyday she is being able to sleep. She did blood test iron level is good, vit B is good.
Avatar n tn for the treatment of Osteoporosis and all have some value. One with a similar name (Boniva) is used quite often and is said to have good results. Since we deal strictly with Breast Cancer issues on this Community you might look at the top of the page under "Health Information" where you will find a subtitle "Osteoporosis" and post there or read other posts and comments. Regards ....
Avatar n tn It's expensive! That is all you need to know. You will need insurance.
930762 tn?1244407904 Im in south africa, so dollars to me looks like my baby will cost like R100 000. Its so sad that medical is so expensive. At this rate, I dont think I will ever be able to afford having a baby. we have public hospitals here, but I havent many good things about them. Medical Aid is also rather pricy, aroung R1200 Per Month for a good 1 that covers most expenses, I supose that would be the most cost effective route to take though. thanx for the advice spade22!
Avatar n tn I recommend checking out the website "Save Our Bones". It is an alternative to using bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, et al) These drugs interrupt the remodeling of bones by adding a "sheath" or layer of hardening to the outside of the bones in an effort to prevent bone "loss". Bones remodel (replace) naturally every few years. One of the problems with bones is our diets are often highly acidic by processed foods.
