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.
