Hi.
I've just taken my first Alendronic Acid tablet for my osteoporosis. I have to sit up for half an hour after taking it. This hurts :roll:
Can't win lol. .
I find sitting up can be painful but if it helps eh?
Hope everyone is as ok as can be

No experience of taking this med but can sympathise that sitting up can be painful and it's s*d's law that it's always going to be most painful when you have to do it. All I can say is that I hope it does the job and that you can enjoy a reviving lie down later. With this and your injection later I get the feeling Thursday is not going to be your favourite day of the week.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Prop yourself up as best you can with pillows, switch on a film and lose yourself in that. I used to do crosswords which I suspect is not your thing. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Well done, Tony. You're a bigger man than I amIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Our daughter ( smurfette ) takes this for osteoporosis and as she has a serious lung disease ; also connected with her RA , she also finds the sitting upright painful . She props herself up with pillows and reads her kindle to pass the time .

'morning Tony
I appreciate that you must not lie down after taking AA for a certain amount of time but as far as I know there is no law against you standing up and walking around if you wish. It is lying down that is "verboten". You just have to keep upright for a time - 30 mins or so. That is what I was told and read about AA.

Thank you girls
I propped myself up with my feather bolsters so it wasn't too bad. All done and dusted lol
I don't mind doing the meth injections at all. . But as mentioned, Thursday will be my cruddy day
DD, crosswords are sooo very much my thing. I speak them at the TV all the time
Thanks again folks. . All seems fine in the tjt oesophagus so farMe-Tony

Hi Tony
I know I stopped it last week and am waiting to see my GP but I took my computer upstairs, put it on a desk, got up took the dreaded AA with a glass of water and sat and played on the computer for 30 minutes.
Then gratefully took some pain killers/dullers to hopefully help the pain of everything else LOL
Love

I went back to sleep after sitting for about 35 mins in all. I was just trawling through AC on my phone to kill the time. It workedMe-Tony

I take this, albeit once a week, but my instructions were to take it 45 mins before food, and not lie down for half an hour. My consultant suggested taking it as soon as I get out of bed, then, by the time I've showered and dressed etc, the time will have passed, and I can have brekkie and more pills! - seems to have worked so far0

Thank you Sharon.. I took it on an empty stomach this morning.. I have a terrible appetite so didn't eat till lunch time :oops:
All good so far though, I know some suffer the whole day so I know I am lucky in that respect.
Thanks again everyoneMe-Tony

Hello Sharon,
I follow the same procedure as you.
If you add shaving, and brewing a cuppa for my bride and
delivering it with a slice of toast to her in bed the 30 minutes
whips by.
I then brew a second time, this time a builder's brew in a mug
followed by a session with my kindle.
I do this every Sunday morning and apart from swallowing the aa
pill it is a kind of treat for both of us.
Tony. Do try moving around if you are able. I find it helps make
the 30 minute period seem to pass quickly.0 -
Hello Ichabod, sounds similar routine to ours, minus the toast! Only we're not newly weds, been married for 33 years!0
-
Cheers Ichabod..
Will try that next time. I hope the cuppa is tetley tea
I gotta say I was a bit sickly yesterday but nothing that bad.Me-Tony

Hope today's better, Tony. I must say walking about sounds like a better bet than sitting, if you can manage it first thing. Sitting compresses the stomach, especially if you're bending over a phone or laptop.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hello Tony,
Go for it mate.
Hello. Sharon,
Newly weds? If only.
we can beat your years, but I'm a romantic old bugger.0 -
Thank you both. .
Next Thursday I'll do the walking around bitMe-Tony
