I have been to the drs today re Fosomax,I told him my concerns about taking it and asked if I could hve Strontium, he said they didnt prescribe it and ask again in 2 years!!
Apparently my bones are in a bad state and he said I would have to take something and said to take the fosomax and see how I go on it, there are millions on it who dont have a problem so he said there was little reason why I should have problems.I am still reluctant and am going to speak to my dentist first. Did you know that in a couple of years there will be a new drug out Denosumab which will be 40% cheaper. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article4748615 its very interesting.

I'm glad to see this thread is still active. I still haven't had the dental work done. I have a bridge that's holding the crown in place and that's working fine for now. If it becomes a problem, I'll consult with a dentist. The one who did the original work has moved away!
I've never tried Strontium, but I was on Forteo and that didn't seem to be working. Plus there were some weird side effects with regard to calcium intake. I had to have approval to get the Forteo, but it was my first osteoporosis drug. I didn't try Fosamax until the Forteo side effects became too much--and my insurance stopped paying for it. Also, I wasn't happy with Forteo's warnings about bone cancer in the test rats. I guess any drug we take will have some down side. It's a question of finding the one with the least. Good luck all! Stay in touch.

They want me to go of this stuff. It sounds freaky. The only thing I've got that is worth two hoots in hell is a sound set of teeth.

Is anyone aware of a natural fix for osteoporosis. I really dont like taking the medication that I have been given due to the strange taste I have in the mouth, I feel like I have been sucking on paper. Odd as that sounds, has anyone else had this experience?
