I started taking Fosamax on a Friday morning and by Saturday morning I was aching. By Saturday night I had severe aching and chest pains. My doctor said that my only other alternative was a nasal spray derived form salmon which could cause severe nose bleeds and nose sores PLUS aches. So I decided to take my chances with Fosamax and hoped that the side effects would go away once my body got used to it. I just started my second week dose again this past Friday and have developed ongoing shortness of breath and chest pain. I can not live like this on a day to day basis and have decided after reading all the different side effects that various women have experienced while taking this drug to discontinue its use. As I am at risk for Osteophorsis according to my Bone Density Test, I can only hope that I never actually develop it and put put myself at risk in the future for hip fracture and loss of teeth.
