Hi, my mom (67) was diagnosed with Osteo one year ago but does not want to take any medication. Her doctor recommended Fosamax. What have been your experiences with it? Positive and negative.

Or with Actonel, Boniva, Reclast? Or something else?

I want to try to help her find a treatment to prevent her from having a fracture or further bone loss.

I had chills that were unreal, some vomiting, felt very weak like I would easily black out, fatigue overall I was MISERABLE and scared for 24 hours. I felt somewhat disoriented. I am really hesitant to try again. Others?

I have a large hietal hernia in my esophagus that my GI Dr worries is irriitated by the Fosamax.
I also have concern about Osteonecrosis from ongoing dental procedures. My PCP notes that the med
no longer seems effective and would like me to see a specialist for future osteosporosis treatment. What
kind of doctor would be most effective and appropriate for me to see. PCP mentioned endocrinologist but I
am thinking rheumatologist.
Your advice would be much appreciated.

Has anyone used this infusion? And did you experience any side effects?

Like many, I tried everything to improve or stabilize my bone density but finally had to accept the fact that I needed to take some medication.
