Fosamax teaching
Common Questions and Answers about Fosamax teaching
fosamax
It's really scary to see how little doctors know and even pharmacists don't know what ferritin even is. What do they teach these people in med school???
These are the meds I'm currently taking:
Advair, Singulair, Fosamax (I have osteoporosis), 120mg dessicated thyroid, birth control, 1000units Vit. D, multivitamin, 300mg magnesium caltrate (to help me sleep and for constipation).
I've been eating a lot of nuts and seeds lately so I would think that would help with the iron and copper.
(I am copying this from an email for my Mother (78 yrs - very active (still works teaching speech, never smoked, never a drinker)
The specialist arranged a MRI (brain scan) and a scan of sinus passages –
and reported no irregularities. On my request my Doctor gave me a 10 day
trial of a common allergy tablet – to no effect.
If doctors are targeted by these companies from medical school to use different medications....then does that teach them that the solution to all problems is medication? Seriously, a person with the symptoms of OVCA goes to a doctor. Instead of trying to find out what is wrong, they label you with IBS and give you a prescription. Problem solved as far as they think. Or is it?
And why should age matter as to why a physician take you? Why should 65 be a cut-off point? Isn't that discrimination?
She, under the advice of specialists, does whatever else is needed such as Urocit-K, Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium, Premarin, Vitamin D2, and pain meds. I am also supposed to be on Fosamax.
It is always best, in my opinion, to have one doctor to regulate all medications whether they be every day maintenance meds or ever changing needed pain management meds. At least this way, it is most of the time faster and easier to get refills when needed or any changes need to be made.
Been eating alot of yogurt. Not on anything for the osteoporosis. Can't find a new PCP. Can't afford Fosamax. Should I take something now in the herbal department now? hope you do well with the herbal route. God Bless you.
That has helped, but the pain flared again today.
I also take Fosamax (or the generic equivalent) for bone density, and found the comments about calcium helpful. I often forget to take the right amount of calcium, and I do knw the doctor has warned me about it. He said the Fosamax will take the calcium from my bloodstream and make sure the bones get enough, but that other ares of the body will be lacking and there will be problems.
