Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh Ros,that is so sad.I did take those meds and as a result I have severe osteoporosi (just found out) and the doc says that if I take even one small tumble I am in deep trouble.Last week we just found out on the news thatt the meds such as Boniva,Actonel,Didrocal are causing terrible disfiguring bone death and people are advised to drop them immediately.The research comes from McGill in Montreal and U of British Columbia.They have been watching people using these meds for over a decade and have just released this info.My doctor now has me on bio-identical progesterone that is made from wild yams.It should rebuild the bones fairly well.
