Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hello All: I recently wrote to tell all of you that I was diagnosed with Osteopenia and that the GYN I was going to refused to prescribe anything for me. Well, I also have problems with my blood count, so I went to a Hematologist. The Hematologist didn't agree with the GYN at all. She's more WLS savey than the GYN. She prescribed Evista. I also have esophogeal problems so she said she couldn't prescribe Fosomax. She said Evista is much easier on a normal stomach but she wasn't sure just how pouch friendly it would be. Any suggestions? Thanks Roe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 I use Miacalcin which is a nasal spray. It's supposed to be pretty effective and has no side effects for most people. I have been taking it for a year, but haven't had another bonescan yet (my insurance will only cover one every two years). According to my doctor, the results have been pretty good with this drug.
