Susan, what's your dose of Fosamax, if you don't mind my asking? I also was dx'd with osteopenia, at -1.7 currently. On calcium supplements etc, but couldn't handle side effects of weekly 70 mg Fosamax. Joint/muscle pain and fever/fatigue; wiped me out for most of the week, then would staart to feel better just in time for another hit! Worse than most chemos I've been on. I know I must do something if my DEXA this year shows more progression, so I've talked with my doctor about cutting the 70 mg dose in half, since 70 mg was approved for actual osteoporosis, and osteopenia being pre-osteoporosis...Just wondering how you're doing on it. I know several others who take it with no problems, my mother-in-law included, don't know why it's so hard on me.
<3,
Lolly
