My number was -2.5 at that time. I have since developed growing pain in my shoulder and hip and an x-ray showed no broken bones but a demineralization of the area. He had me taking 4 calcium pills a day during that time. Can that cause the pain? My doctor insisted that I go back on Fosamax this month. He is urging Reclast due to my colitis. I am very nervous about doing this. I started taking strontium and boron with my calcium recently although he never recommended it. I will be having another DEXA next month and am bracing for the worse. I have your book. What would you suggest? My doctor took me off Fosamax for a year after a diagnosis of colitis.

Drs. want me to try forteo, but this wasn't tested on someone like myself, only mobile persons were tested. Thank you Since I’m in a wheelchair & can’t walk, will this program work for me.

I have had 3 ops for prolapse so the jumping exercises may not be the best thing for me - also I have spondylolisthesis and a previous spinal fracture, so can you recommend suitable exercises that I can do please? Thank you Aisie Dear Vivian,

Thus being given now to the general public. I was told that after having approx 3 (yearly) infusions I would most likely never need anymore infusions for the rest of my life. This encouraged me to have the procedure but the after effects I had were quite severe and I wonder if this is 'normal'? I was told I may experience flu like symptoms, which began almost 6 hours after the infusion but proceded to make every part of my body sore. I couldn't even bear the covers on my bed to touch me. Also I had a slight tightening of the chest. These symptoms decreased over 4 days but I still felt very unwell and proceeded to get a head cold which then lasted another week. Has anyone else had a similar experience and can you tell me what you know of the Aclasta infusion?

This woman, this book, and this website is crazy. If you have osteoporosis, PLEASE get regular DEXA scans, take supplemental calcium and vitamin D, and talk to your doctor about prescription medication. Reclast, once a year IV, is the best agent on the market. PEOPLE! This woman, this book, and this website is crazy.

My Dr prescribed miacalcin nose spray, I used it, then was also put on Fosamax with it I took it, had severe esophgeal problems, have had it stretched 2 times now, then was put on Forteo injections, did that for 2 years and hung over the toilet like I was going through chemo treatments it was SO bad, was through with that then He wanted to put me on Actonel, I finally read Vivian's book and told him enough already and stopped going to him. I treat myself now and feel better. I take calcium, magnesium citrate liquid naturally blueberry flavored walk when I can take 1000 mg of Vitamin D3 and think to myself I'm 53 and I will not be told what to do by a Dr that could care less about how I felt on all that. Thank you Vivian for all your research. My husband would refuse to ever let a Dr treat me that way again and think the getting sick was "all in my head"!!
