OH, Kaitrin, that is such good news.
I think my first year of Fosamax will be up in .. Feb?
I really hope it's helping to hold it. I'm taking it faithfully (with some calcium and D of course)
Your sucess gives me hope.
Dee, about side effects: I'm a very hairy person and have had no hair loss from Fosamax at all. However for about the first 4 months I seriously had sore muscles and joints. The first day after I took it I woke up feeling like a train had run over my all bones. That was a bad day. But like I said 4 months into it all the side effects disappeared.
BTW even your Dr will tell you that heart burn is the most common side effect and can possibley last 3 months. The sore muscle/joint side effect is only suffered by about 4% of people that take Fosamax.
