Hi Charlotte,
Check out Reclast for your bones. It's given by infusion once a year so the gi tract is bypassed. I had several infusions some years ago for osteoporosis, then another this year because of taking prednisone for pmr. The first time I had a reclast infusion I felt a little bit off for two weeks. I was fine with subsequent infusions. Good luck to you!

Thanks Marid57! I was offered Prolia injections, but at $500 a shot, it's not doable (I don't have any health coverage). I'll have to try the biophosphates again, and hope I don't end up with stomach upset.
