I took Fosamax pills once a week to keep my bones strong. They require you to take them first thing in the morning, Sitting up for 30 minutes. I never found out a problem to do that, I would just sit up straight in bed and read the news.

The other choices are Zometa and Xgeva. Xgeva Active ingredient is denosumab Which is used in different drugs in different strengths. Both of these injections can cause osteonecrosis. Zometa has a slightly smaller chance of causing it and getting it at all happens in a very small percentage of patients.

I do a lot of sit-ups at the gym to minimize the belly, They really strengthen the stomach muscles. I am thin, so it’s small already.

As I mentioned in another message, I Wake up about 6:30 AM and go to sleep about midnight. Sometimes I’ll feel tired in the afternoon and I’ll take a 25 minute nap, Setting my phone to wake me in 25 minutes. That resolves fatigue problems later at night.

@jeffmarc Can Fosamax be taken with food or beverages, i.e. my morning coffee with milk?
