Tricia,

I haven't gotten to those photos yet, but I will. I want to start a pet thread.

I also wanted to post to suggest taking probiotics with the bisphosphonate as they are wicked hard on the esophagus causing reflux. Presently I am struggling with some pretty painful heartburn which has been getting increasingly worse as I come up on my 2 year anniversary of taking Clondronate. I am to go another year after that, but I am not at all certain I can take it much longer.

Bones like Swiss cheese or holes in our esophagus (or is it esophagi?)! No way to win with this stuff, is there?
