I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
The prescription drug Fosamax (the generic is alendronate sodium) is a medication which has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of postmenopausal women to treat osteoporosis and help increase bone mass thereby reducing the chance of spinal or non-spinal fractures. Fosamax has also been prescribed to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis. Brand name Fosamax is manufactured in the United States by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
The authors examined the effects of high-dose oral alendronate (40 mg daily) for 6 months on 3 adult patients with intractable headache due to fibrous dysplasia of the skull. Each patient had disease processes not amenable to surgery. The patients underwent clinical follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. Their pain levels were documented at each visit by using a visual analog scale. All 3 patients demonstrated a significant decrease in pain levels and became independent of scheduled analgesics.
I am also taking Aromasin for bc. Stopped alendronate (I am osteopenic due to 30 yrs of prednisolone and Arimidex) in case this caused the oesophagitis. Would appreciate your advice.
Anyone have any suggestions on when I should start to look up where and when Na is in my area and actually try to go to a meeting. I sure don't feel like I can right now but will take suggestions into consideration as I know it will be a must for me to stay clean. I know before I felt better at day 14 and I did not go and here I am wding again. Thanks guys and gals.
In the last lil while I have been downloading speaker tapes from NA and AA from a web site and listening to them. They are in mp3 file. If you want the site send me a message and I im it over to ya. I am not sure of the guidelines on medhelp for posting web sites in public.
Has NA been helpful for you in your recovery? I'm considering going to my first meeting tomorrow, I'm just not sure if a 12 step program is right for me.
thankyou,i am with contact of my doctor ,he said there is no solution for damaged vertibras,but calcium and vitiman d and alendronate sodium/cholecaiciferol tablets will help spine and bones from further damages but what to do with prednisones i cant stop them because of asthma and taking of them will damage other bones isnt there any other solution instead of prednisones, i know there is nothing accept these because my doctor told me:(

Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.
For any of you that go to NA could you recommend which books to me helped you the most....I was going to order them online. I am not able to do meetings with my toddler. But I am a reader and would like to read as much as I can to educate myself more. I was looking at Basic Text & Just for Today for sure....
I am from the deep south and i tried 10 or more mixed meetings with NA..then i tried the ladies group of NA/better as i did not feel like i was on display.....it was a bit hard to say anything as there were a "group" who ran the meeting and everyone else just sat there..in the mixed group i felt like i was being sized up for sex..sorry but that is how i felt..many fresh out of prison and mostly IV drug abuse....out of my scope being a pill popper... .
I am considering going to my first meeting but scared to death. Have no idea what to expect. I am somewhat quite, like to observe and take in not really talk in front of people.
