Anyone take Anastrozole every other day?

@jsparkle42 I am taking Anastrozole and am realizing how this drug has done damage to my bones. Oncologist added Alendronot (Fosamax) to my medication list and it has its own set of issues. Looking for something to help with bone density that is over-the-counter available.

@jwmusic65 Something I recently started taking is BioSil (choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid) I heard about it from someone else on this group. It takes time to build up for bone density but it's scientifically proven to do so.

I forgot to add that I am taking the liquid drop version because I can't stand swallowing any additional pills anymore. I have been on it for about 6 weeks now. I feel like I am seeing some changes in my nail growth and maybe a little extra hair starting to grow back on my head but it's still kind of early to know for sure how much it will help with all the issues I am taking it for.

@jwmusic65 My Rhumatologist ordered Reclast IV (once a year). I osteoporosis and osteopenia and meet whatever any additional criteria is. I have had this done about 4 times. I had zero side effects. You might want to see an endocrinologist or Rhumatologist to evaluate for other options suited for you. I for one would not risk otc product claims, esp when on an AI.
