@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 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.
I'm surprised they're so adamant about not every other day. Considering that this one dose has a 50-hour half life. So you're doubling and tripling up every time you take a pill? Is that why you get sick later rather than at first. I am so tired I can't lift my head off the pillow. I sleep 24/7 almost. I have no energy to walk one small block to the pharmacy. I feel sick all the time. I swear to God this is not living. I do not even want to stay alive like this.
@saraabrooks I have sone of the same side effects as you. I am tired but push through that at the local Rec Center to walk 12 laps that equal a mile and then ride the bike for 30’minutes. I do this because I don’t have family in the area and I have to push through so I can function. It’s a lot!! Cancer is a lot! Period!
