Congratulations on your good health except for your DEXA scan. I can sympathize as I have had osteopenia since before age 40. I recently have become borderline for osteoporosis so my doctor put me on Fosamax. My mother-in-law had health issues but had tolerated it well for years so I decided to try it even though I’m very conservative about medications. After about 11 months on it, I experienced severe bone loss and infection in my upper jaw and lost a tooth because of it. What frightened me even more was that I had no symptoms except for a small bump on my gum that went away and then reappeared, which caused me to see my dentist. As a former assistant Manager and dental assistant, this was extremely heartbreaking. My dentist confided in me that Faso Max is the least harmful of all the osteoporosis drugs on the market and thinks the others should be banned. I now have an appointment with my endocrinologist at the end of the month to try to find an alternative. Good luck to you.
