Boniva - Help

Does anybody take Boniva? If so, please let me hear from you. I'm trying to get the courage to take this stupid little pill (it's just a pill, right) but when I read the brochure that came with it, it scares the crap out of me. Do I really want to run the risk of difficulty in swallowing, ulcers in my stomach or esophagus, serious jaw problems. Maybe it is just better to live with osteoporosis. Actually, the doctor gave me samples back in October to start taking and I am having a hard time making myself do so, however, the bones in my arms and legs ache and every so often sharp pains run through them. This has been going on for about a week. Soooo, I guess I need to quit being such a baby and face the music. My daddy always said, "Ain't no fun growing old, it's not for sissies".
I think he was right.

Doesn't mean you'll have any of the side effects. Remember they always tell you worst case scenario

Everything has side-effects. I've taken to calling them "other effects" in my head. Something good, something bad. It's a balancing act.

I am concerned about the reflux but so far so good. I used my sons birthday date to help me remember when to take it. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, James. I will follow the directions 'cause I can't stand the thought of the side effects.

I take the weekly pill. Have had no serious side effects.

Just what it says, stay upright after taking it, and take it with as much drink as it says to.

I've taken it several times. I was scared of the reflux, but had no problem. Personally, I want to change to a weekly pill because I can never remember to get it filled on the right date.
