Specialist needed for osteoporosis

DEAR DR. GOTT:

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 1998 following an abnormal bone-density test. I was first prescribed Evista, which I stopped after about a year because of side effects. The primary complaints I had were weight gain and hot flashes. I never had problems with menopause and didn’t have hot flashes until trying the Evista. After I stopped it, the side effects disappeared.

Next, my gynecologist put me on Fosamax. I took that for about five years...click here to read the rest of the article (it will validate some of your concerns about taking these osteoporosis medications...so many ladies have told me they have really awful side effects from the meds, but their doctors tell them to just live with the side effects.)
