I've had full blown osteoporosis for at least three years and my family doctor has been pushing Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva and Reclast. Fosamax and Actonel both gave me horrible heartburn so I gave them up after only a few months. Never tried Boniva or Reclast. Personally, with all the problems I've been having with my UP, I don't want to put up with any more meds with bad side effects. I take 600 mgm of Calcium with D twice a day faithfully and have been doing that since I found out about the osteoporosis. My nails are doing great! Never stronger and long. My back no longer bothers me either like it used to. I am not due for another bone scan until November. My friend works for a dentist and he will not do any dental surgery on patients taking osteoporsis meds until they are off it for at least two months. That tells me something. Any suggestions?
