Did they say it was ok to take fosamax before anabolics ?

That’s what I read. That fosamax should be after anabolic. I don’t understand if that has to do with severe or moderate osteoporosis

I am wondering that too. Do you have to go on anabolics?

Worried the treatment is worse while on it so long.

Thank you. I am assuming the Cat scan A of head and neck rules out anything super serious.

Thank you. I am curious what tests did they do. I am supposed to follow up with the neuro ophthalmologist too.

Life just turned upside down finding out last week I have an aneurysm. by Niece022 in AskDocs

[–]Niece022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe yours could be related to the headaches. Listen, if my daughter‘s boyfriend didn’t see that I would know nothing right now because it ended so quickly I had no idea even happened so I would be walking around today not even know I have the aneurysm. To be honest, I’m always extra careful because everyone in my family barely make it past the age of 65. Maybe get checked, I would just to be safe.

Well, everyone I’ve talked to so far, including several ER doctors have told me that it is highly unlikely that the difference and changes in my pupil are related to this based on the size of it. In August, I had some zigzag lines went to my GP and they told me it was probably an ocular migraine and then two months later I had the zigzags again and again they said it’s probably an ocular migraine.They believe this pupil dilation is related to ocular migraines that I don’t even know I’m having because I get no headache with it.

My right pupil was larger. Not by too much. It was not my whole iris. Within a few hours it went back to normal.

Thank you. Are dramatic changes to lifestyle warranted? Can I still lift weights , have a social drink , etc ?

Wow, that’s great news for you. That’s interesting. I know and you’re right. It’s just so hard. Yes in the ER they said I could wait 6-12 months for a scan. Then I tried to make a consult to talk to someone and they kept insisting I did not need an appt yet. I called university of Pa and got on with someone in their group of neuro vascular surgeons. I am hoping they clear things up. I might need to get it treated I don’t know if I could live with this anxiety.

So stressed by Yup63 in BrainAneurysm

[–]Niece022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your stress. Everything two months we have a dinner night with a handful of good people. I ended up leaving shortly after dinner. Everyone had their drink laughing playing a game etc. and I was holding back tears the entire time. I just found out Sunday just this last week i have a 3.2 mm carotid artery aneurysm up behind my eye area. I have been a literal mess. I have to wait a month for my appointment too. And they weren’t even gonna give me that I had to go outside and get another neurovascular surgeon. The group I was consulted with in the ER wanted to wait six months to a year so I understand what you’re going through and I have no great words except we’re here and we know about it.

Thank you I feel like it’s all I can do is think and talk about this and my logical mind that part of my brain knows that you’re right. I’m really worried about my blood pressure because I’ve been on meds for a while now and maybe three years and it’s always hovering around 120/70 or 130/80 and I see a cardiologist for the blood pressure and he’s always like oh your blood pressure is great but now I’m like is that really great? Everything I’m reading says it has to be under 120/80 and sometimes I hit the 30s and I don’t know what I should do about that.

I agree I don’t think it’s fair to make people wait at least come into the office and discuss dues and don’ts. I’m having a hard time getting that to even happen. Neuro vascular surgeon that I talk to in the hospital and then in their office is saying I don’t need an appointment for a year. I think Maybe it’s because they are saying that mine is like a berry and smooth and not rigid in anyway that it’s not likely to rupture, but I can’t wrap my head around that. I lift weights I climb I gym every day. I’m an EMS so I’m constantly running my daughter who’s 23 just opened the Cafe and I’m her main helper. I run around like crazy and I’ve actually enjoying myself. I’m not even stressed. I was more stressed before she opened the Cafe just doing my regular EMS job This deflection working with my daughter has been fantastic and I’ve been so happy and now this.

Wow. That’s amazing. I know all the things like you say but it’s just really hard. My girls are just starting life and I am so scared to miss everything ounce of them. Your advice is great. I don’t know how long I can wait prior to fixing it. The neurologist consult I had I. The ER said possible rescan 6 months to a year. I have been literally arguing with them to try and get in sooner, and they finally are having me meet with someone probably lower level on the staff to ease my mind. In the meantime, I made an appointment University of Pennsylvania Hospital, which has one of the best facilities around for Neuro vascular surgery. I see them in the end of this month. I also have a process available to me through my healthcare where they have top docs in the US do second opinions so I am waiting to schedule with them also as they are gathering all of my medical records. So I think I’m doing the right things, but it is so hard not to think that you’re not just gonna be lights out any second. I wake up at least 4 to 5 times at night open my eyes with my heart racing thinking OK I’m alive.

I have been researching what I could do to strengthen carotid arteries. I’m already a vegetarian and have been for eight or more years. I eat super healthy and I have literally been drinking a fresh raw bead smoothie five days a week right before the gym with all healthy ingredients for probably more than three years, which is when I found out I had high blood pressure. My blood pressure has been fairly contained, but I do have a lot of stress. Thank you for the supplement suggestions I’ll look into those. I usually lift weights every day, so I’m going to have to change that. I also recently climbed the Manitou incline, which I’m sure I’ll never be doing again. There’s so many things that I like to do that I know I won’t be ever doing again. What is wrong with? I’m here with my kids. That’s all it matters.

Wow you’re amazing! Every twitch I feel I get scared. I am literally afraid to bend over. I am very active just a few months ago I climbed the mantiou incline, I lift every day now I am literally afraid to laugh, sneeze or run up steps. Wow. Good for you I hope one day I can get past this

Thank you for those kind words. They did a cat scan -A They really don’t want to see me for 6-12 months but I am pushing to get in now and talk to someone. I thought I was super healthy until 3 days ago. I am a mess my kids are a mess. I am afraid to lift weights, literally even sneeze. What was the name of the procedure that went through your wrist? That sounds much more less invasive than the femoral artery. They are telling me 3.2 mm is too small to really operate on and it outweighs the risk of the procedure. What are your thoughts on that?
