Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 When I had the bone scan to see if cancer had moved into my bones, particular attention was paid to the left side of my face. An extra scan was made only of the face but I haven't gotten a satisfactory explanation or excuse from anybody. I did run across a bit of info about Fosamax lawsuits because of damage to jawbones. I have had to get some teeth pulled in the recent past and was asked while making the bone scans if I had dental work done, but they were careful not to say anything about it. My Rheumy is mad at me for stopping taking Fosamax until I can find out something less evasive, but I think I have a legitimate concern. What do you girls know about it? Because of all the things that have happened during the last year, I'm pretty depressed and may not be making good decisions right now. That reminds me, I was taking Amitriptyline but noticed I was having heart problems tied to taking that med at bedtime. My heart would skip regularly, sometimes painfully, when I would lie down. It started with a rhythm of about 7 beats and a skip, and progressed over time to only 1 beat and a skip. That's when I stopped taking it, and most of the skipping has stopped, but the depression is deeper. I'm supposed to try Cymbalta and hope it's better for me. OK, I quit for now...
