Hi Lolly,

Wow, I haven't heard of anyone having such a reaction to Fosamax. Most of the time it's the stomach upset that folks complain of. I guess I'm lucky to have absolutely no side effects (except to gain bone density!). I am on the 70mg dose once a week. My mom is on Actonel 35 mg once a week. Don't know if it would be any different for you but I know it comes as a 5 mg tab as well. Also, I'm not sure about Zometa infusions. Do they reserve that only for bone mets pts. or do they use it to treat osteoporosis? A once a month treatment sounds convenient! I wish you luck on your next DEXA and hope you don't need any of these options.

Take care,
Susan
