Just diagnosed with osteoporosis and was told to take Fosamax? (pn) I have not started it yet due to my worries about side effects and lots of expensive dental work is coming up. My doctor told me to take Fosamax and to take Omega 3 (plant based), calcium, magnesium and zinc. Also to do weight bearing exercise which I am doing. I also walk one mile and a quarter every day. I have dry eye and am a chronic insomniac. I am up at least eight times per night. I have essential tremor which my mother had and my son now has it. He is forty-seven. Mine is getting worse and has spread to the left hand. My diet is excellent and I don't take any pills or other meds. I am an eighty-one yo female. Help? My former doc referred me to a neurologist, but can't get in for eight months?
