Default Re: Osteoporosis
I had been, for a few mos. only, on each of the osteo drugs --fosomax, actonel and boniva.All doctor prescribed, of course, as I had osteopenia. My side effects were horrendous and within mos. ,I stopped all. That was 18 mos. ago. I then increased my weight exerciseson land, did water-walking 4x a week and religiously took my daily cal/mag plus 800 Vitamin D. My last bone scan showed a significant improvement, which I couldn't believe. I was really just trying to halt the progression. Do Google the side effects of Boniva -- I had them in spades! Just a view you might want to consider!
