Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Pru, did your doctor prescribe a medication such as Fosamax for your osteoporosis? I have osteopenia, the forerunner of osteoporosis, and had been on Evista. I switched to Foxamax when it became generic. On the Evista, my bone density had actually improved, and I'm hoping for the same from Fosamax.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Sue [] No, the physician that ordered all those tests also advised me that he wouldn't prescribe ANY treatments for me due to the severe Fibro & has referred me back to my original Fibro diagnosing rheumy (who I see next Tuesday with a 4 hr train trip both ways! [:-s] ). But that sounds VERY interesting that Evista actually increased yr bone density - woohoo! - I wouldn't have thought that was possible - sounds hopeful.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Sue, I sent in a reply about 4 hours ago but it has not shown up yet in the messages - so I will answer again & hope it gets thru this time (plus I'll make a copy of it this time [] ). No - the physician that also ordered the MRI & Xrays & blood tests referred me to to my original diagnosing rheumy because he did not wish to prescribe any medications due to my fairly severe Fibro. So I have to make the huge 4 hour train trip both ways next Tuesday [:-s] . But that is really great to know that Evista is actually restoring some density to yr bones - that sure gives me hope that it may be able to correct it a bit.
