Strontium citrate (Algaecal) and fractures

It will be at least 6 months or more before I have another scan, and honestly, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to tolerate the side effects of the strontium. It's affecting my memory too. And the sinus headaches are becoming too much BUT I may just cut the dose in half. There is still a lot of evidence that doses even as low as 200 mg a day are effective. Right now I'm taking 680. We'll see. If I stay on it I will come back and post my scan results. In the meantime, take good care of yourself! We are on a terribly perrilous path! I am convinced that if pharmaceutical company R&D departments were filled with women over 60, osteoporosis would be cured by now! And the treatments wouldn't be torturous! Wishing you health and to feel much better soon!

Hi
Oh, it sounds like a high-dose.Maybe cut it for sure. I agree with you.100% of women were doing research for women. It would be a very different result. I have been trying to get help since I came home in May.From my radiation treatments for my menopause symptoms. Still struggling to get in to see my endocrinologist.Who has had my referral for 3 weeks. Take care
