Osteoporosis
"I was on Daily Fosamax about 5 years ago.  I had severe GERD and stopped taking it. I used calcium supplements and in those years I didn&#039;t have much change. Recently after a scan, it showed that I had bone loss so I went to the weekly Fosamax. I took it in the morning and by that evening, I had severe backache and muscle ache that got worse.  Then I had horrible bloating.  I could hardly walk with the pain.  I called my pharmacist and they told me that I need to contact my doctor and to stop taking the medication.  They told me that the side effect symptoms might take up to 7 months to go away.  I can not function.  I will contact my doctor to see what he has planned.  I would like to just take calcium and vitamin D regularly."
