Does anyone have any experience with Fosamax? I had a bone density test and the doctor said I had osteopenia (pre-osteoporosis) with a t score of -1.5. He suggested that I start Fosamax.
I researched it when I got home and was surprised to see site after site of complaints about serious side effects.
I am now rethinking the whole thing. Any nurses out there? Would a serious regimen of a calcium supplement and exercise work instead?
by the way, I am small-boned and petite and from what I have read, that might explain the t score. I hate to take a serious medication with possible serious side effects if it is not absolutely necessary.
I would appreciate any advice or personal experience with this medication.
