Fosamax??
Is it true that Fosamax only strengthens the outside of the bone and that the core of the bone still continues to weaken? Thats why taking Fosamax is not good to take long term because it will cause femur fx!

Anyone Taking Fosamax Now?
I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and GP wants me to take Fosamx. Is there anyone here in this group that is taking it and if so can you tell me your experience with it?

First day Fosamax
Well, I had to try this for the insurance and dr to see what would happen. I only allowed the smallest dose which is 10 mgs per day. I was fine the first 15 minutes and then started getting very bad cramping. I thought oh no . . But then the cramping started to decrease. And seems to be getting better

fosamax/strength training
Hello, I think I posted somewhere else as well but maybe incorrectly. I was at -2.7 a year ago. since then I started once/week fosamax (only bloating as a side effect) and began strength training 3 months ago. my Dexascan last week showed -2.3. Unsure if its was due to the fosamax, the strength training

I have osteoporosis and I took Fosamax for a while and then lost 6 teeth! I stopped taking it a while ago, but my back is giving me grief now. I am taking calcium and Vitamin D, but I need to find out whether there are any alternatives to alendronic acid.

Prolia instead of Fosamax
I'm a GCA patient since AUG 2022, have gone from 60 mg PRED per day to 20 MG PRED per day at present. My Rheumy put me on Fosamax 3 weeks ago and I have not tolerated it very well. The runs, nausea, and my blurry eyes have gotten even worse. He told me to stop the Fosamax and instead wants me to

Has anyone had positive results, low side effects with Foxamax?
I have a history of parathyroid tumor...10 years missed by doctors, several doctors! Severe osteoporosis age 50...after tumor was removed, got back to osteopenia, until a few months ago! So I've had severe damage to my spine, SI joints, wrists/hands, nerves in legs, two tibia transfers so far, and

Fosamax (Alendronate) Question
Hi again, I'm a GCA patient that was diagnosed in AUG 2022, started at 60 mg PRED and finally down to 20 MG after 7 months. I was a previous PMR patient about 8 years ago as well, having taken about 6 years to decrease the PRED to zero. At my most recent rheumy visit, he suggested that I start taking

The risk of doing nothing
, I have a cousin who is 93. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis many years ago started Fosamax and because of some side effects stopped taking the medication. I spoke to her recently about her osteoporosis and she told me that she was 5‘4“ in her prime and she now is 4 foot 11. She is legally blind

AFTER FORTEO
Has anyone taken Fosamax after Forteo with good results instead of going on Prolia? Also, has anyone taken Prolia and not have side effects? all we hear are the horror stories, there must be some good stories. Is it because people who are doing well don’t go on the website?

How to resolve esophageal symptoms from fosamax?
Hello, I've been taking fosamax (70 mg once a week ) for about 18 months. I've been very careful to follow instructions(take with lots up water, sit straight or stand up for at least 30 minutes). I've recently developed a strange esophageal soreness I've never had before and am pretty concerned. I

Discontinuing Prolia
even on PROLIA for 5 years and wanted to discontinue. Mr doc said I couldn’t just quit so we agree I would take that current injection then talk about what to do at my next injection. I’m not seeing him now so spoke with the PA at my gynecologist office about research I read. She suggested bone supplements

Just diagnosed with Osteoporosis, rock and a hard place...
Do any of you have multiple conditions that make it difficult to treat OP? I have stage 3b chronic kidney disease, which means I have to limit my calcium and my protein. I also have chronic deep vein thrombosis for which I am on lifetime blood thinners. That means no food high in vitamin K. I'm also

Fosamax???
I have a T score in my hip of -2.9, and my doctor wants to put me on Fosamax. I'm 67, also have Parkinson's, so she's concerned I'm a higher fall risk than most. I've read a lot on Fosamax, and it gives me the heebie-jeebies! Any thoughts? Anyone taking it and for how long? Any issues with it?

Fosamax While Taking Pred
My Rheumy told me I need to take Fosamax to prevent Osteoporosis while I'm taking Prednisone. Do others take this or just take Calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 Supplements?
