Ceos symptoms and conditions

Hello Fellow Women Against Mirena (WAM! O.K. I'm going to copywrite it) I am so, so, so relieved that I'm not alone. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish this ....on anyone, but just like the support groups for any cancer (which I have to take a blood test for), or disease, it helps to know your not alone. I know that sounds corny, but I have always been a person who's feet hit the floor at 5:30a.m. and don't stop until 11:30p.m. and was able to lift 75lbs over my head, handle a charging stallion (not the hubby as noted by you all...not happening), now I am 50lbs overweight, don't eat at all, I used to be a grazer, ate little bits all day long just like my horses. Now if it wasn't for them waiting for"Mom" with their big brown unjudging eyes,cuz animals don't care about you being fat etc, but they do want their Mommie time back. I think that we should keep our removed Mirenas in little viles or zippys and chuck them on the desks of the CEOS who manufactured this demon ...then ask them to try their product out on their wives, girlfriends, daughters. mothers...I bet they wouldn't...I think after surgery to get it removed, I'll be mailing a package to Bayer and the company who makes it in Finland.....Look out Bayer in Wayne, NJ...your going to get your product back and I want a refund!...Thanks WAM, you have lifited my spirits..and if I happen to flat line in surgery, guess who I am going to haunt!!!

53 year old female who has taken "F" for almost 2 years - the past two months was the generic version. Have noticed a gradual onset of joint pain and heart palpitations, but am not one to see a doc unless I feel like I'm dying... So I wrote it off to aging. (-:
A friend recently mentioned that she had heard that Fosamax causes bones to be brittle, which caused me to wake up, look around and see what people are saying and what new articles or research are out there. Yeah, sure - there are lawsuits. Not a surprise in our litigious society. More importantly, however, are the comments from real people. Thanks to you who've posted your experiences!
I stopped the drug several weeks ago and seem to have an increase in joint paint. But I'm not going back to Fosamax! Also interesting to me is that around the same time I stopped the drug, I experienced an uncharacteristic downward shift in my mood/mental state. Not sure if there's a correlation to the drug or not...
It is reassuring to see some comments from people who indicate they feel better after weeks/months of being Fosamax free. I am a "gym rat" and very fit/weight appropriate. Weight training and nutrition will be my treatment of choose for osteopenia for now. With time, I am confident that the symptoms I'm experiencing will subside. And any future ailments for which I am prescribed a drug will be very carefully researched by me beforehand.
Be careful out there and stay informed!
