I, too have the same diagnosis. I tried Fosamax for 6 weeks. I was very allegoric to it......... fever, extreme bone pain, eye pain, and flu like symptoms. I was referred to an Osteoporosis Research Center in Albuquerque, NM. I met with the director, Dr. Lance Rudolph. He recommended prolia. I have now been approved by my insurance for prolia which is a shot every 6 months. I haven't had an injection yet, because I just got the blood work and 24 hr urine test done. Hopefully, I will not have reactions to prolia.
Good luck with your treatment...... keep us informed.
