[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 572452, member: 59"] I am so thrilled to hear this. I have a similar story with actonel. I went into menapause very early and my dr at the time put me on HRT before all the research came out about it's harmful effects. I felt like a million bucks, like I had found the fountain of youth. I was on it many years until we could no longer ignore the research. My bone scans started coming back bad and I was put on actonel. Several years later my bone loss stabelized and I actually gained bone mass. I stopped taking actonel about three years ago when the research showed there was a higher risk of bone fractures. My bone densities were fairly stable and we thought it was OK. Obviously it caught up with me and I spent about six months interrible bone pain and arthritic pain and my bone density came back the worst it's ever been. I started the actonel back up about six months ago and started a new arthritis medication and I am am feeling much better now. I go through the day with little or no pain and my bones feel stronger. The moral of the story for me is we have to do our own research and know the risks and benefits and feel comfortable with what we are taking. I don't accept that I have to live my life in pain everyday. Nancy [/QUOTE]
