I no longer take any osteoporosis drugs. I took Fosomax and Fosomax D off and on for over five years. I had aching and cramps in my legs that eventually extended up into my groin. The pain would sometimes be so severe that I could not lie in bed and was walking the floor at night to try and reduce the cramping. With continuing bad reports about the osteoporosis drugs I made the decision to completely go off them. I eat a healthy diet, take D3 daily, exercise at least five times a week, eat yogurt daily along with a probiotic, and feel 100% better! It is soon six years since I took osteoporosis drugs, I refuse Dexa scans and I have absolutely no intention of going back on any of these drugs until safer ones become available. When research and drug companies come up with a proven medication that will not harm me or make me feel ill, I will reconsider. I am not advising anyone else on what they should do, but for me, this is the choice I've made. I try to keep up on research being conducted and the reports about the drugs that are or will be offered on the market, and hope that eventually effective and safe osteoporosis medications will be available.
