Yep Erin I've had 2 since I've been diagnosed.
The last one I had was good because they recommended a daily calcium intake to keep my bones happy and healthy while I am on pred. Yes I do go thru stages of craving milk, and don't like the low fat stuff, and I can't eat oranges as they have bad effects on my, but ate a couple a few weeks ago, cos I was just hugely craving them?!?! wierd. Maybe they contain potassium, and I know I'm low in that, and I take tablets but still crave other things that contain potassium. redtail

Hi Erin,
Yes, steroids cause osteoporosis and although a high calcium diet is strongly recommended, it is advisable to monitor bone density, I had my first check (as a reference) at the beginning 14 months ago and I will have the second one next January. Be carefull with biphosphonate supplements frequently prescribed as they are reported to cause jaw bone necrosis…Dentists should be informed of their intake! Maurice. |

Maurice,
