I just had a bone scan and have, I believe, a minus 2? Anyway osteoporosis in my left hip only. I looked up Fosomax and cant believe the serious side affects. Of the over 200 patient comments, only 2 or 3 could remain on it without too many side affects. I will not put my body through those terrible ailments. There has to be a better way. I have A plus eating habits, go to the gym 6 days a week to work on arms and on the treadmill. I take bone marrow calcium now and lots of other vitamins and minerals. But I will not take a chance on serious ailments caused by Fosomax. Would appreciate your wisdom and comments. Thank you.
