Also any link I may have posted a year ago wasn't about me was probably from a nursing newsletter that thought might be of interest to babble community. also this whole thing started from going to plastic surgeon to question back pain two years after tummy tuck when it started the pain this is. He in turn sent me down the hall to the orthopedic doc. Who x-rays back said bones of l00 year old and go on fosamax asked for a RX he refused said no got to see your internist as I don't treat it. So the internist who did first dexa scan and prescribed the fosamax. Letter by mail with prescription and choices listed above. Meanwhile I'd had lymes retesting done by PA at pdocs in another city and since this osteo had treated lymes when retested after moving here decided to see him hence the repeat bone scan and the reclast came up. Long time and three doctors later. Too much stress. So since I'm physically active with excercise will continue. As for my neighbors they admit they have no idea what their meds are or what they do just say the doctor said take this. I'm an informed consumer. And boy am I glad I never took the vioox that was prescribed for me over l0 years ago for back pain herniated disc at time. Now it's off the market and in litigation. Phillipa. My advise is "buyer beware".
