@pattwc exactly! I've been researching foods good for osteoporosis and other things such as supplements. I read that with fosamax, you need to get off the med after 2 years and have a break from it before starting it again. How can that be something good to use? I don't understand these meds at all. Seems lots of them just end up creating other problems which then needs another med to take. It's very frustrating!
