Hi - I'm new to this site. I'm 57 and have been taking Fosomax hit and miss for 10 years. Only had osteopenia until after I went thru menopause and had the bone scan last October taht showed Osteoporosis in the left hip. I take Fosomax once a week faithfully. I also was told that I was 50% low on calcium and Vit D, so am taking 2,000 units Vit D and 1500 calcium. I still work 50 hrs a week (stressful job) and decided to hire a personal trainer to work with me on just heavy weightlifting for the last five months. Now I'm nervous about Fosomax. Dr doesn't want to do a bone density scan until January 2010 because I had one in September 08 What are all of you taking instead of Fosomax now?
