I just went to a Rheumotologist (spelled wrong) about pain for Fibromyalgia. I have pain with the Fibro and the Endocrinologist wanted me to control the fibro pain so I could do Reclast. Long story short-he says Boniva was taken off the market when I ask about Fosamax and Boniva as an alternative. I'm still researching and trying to learn more. Thanks everyone for posting...it helps me
