@ggopher i’m also on Fosamax but haven’t seen any good results. I’m wondering why you’ve been on it for 10 years. Did your doctor prescribe it for 10 years? Have you seen any positive results via DEXA scan?

I retired and moved thus changing doctors. I generally vet new drugs but Fosamax was grandfathered in. I had been ignoring stories about the problems but I figured I was on a roll and looked into the older drugs and OTC and pulled up a lot of issues one of which was the Fosamax. Found a couple new things to work on. PS the doctors are generally right but I like knowing why.

Missed part of your question. Dexa number goes up and down a few points each scan but the long term seems to be a slow decline. Don’t know what the consequences of taking 1800 calcium for 6+ years was.
