I think Fosamax KILLED MY MOTHER. My mon was previously healthy with no known medical problems. No hypertension, no high cholesterol, no diabetes...nothing. She was taking Fosamax for osteoporosis prevention. She developed an acute liver failure. There was no viral, bacterial, or cancer linked to this sudden onset of liver failure. She received a liver biopsy and within one week was dead from bleeding from the biopsy site. I have recently found some journal articles linking Fosamax to acute liver failure. MY HEART IS BROKEN. Do not take this drug without doing in depth research on its side effects and discontinue it immediately if any side effects occur. God Bless.

That is too sad. I feel that it also contributed to my Mom's death. She had no issues or took any drugs, like yours. She was on this poision for about a year, felt achy still, etc. I finally talked her into getting off...but shortly after stopping (her pain had eased dramatically!) she had an issue with her heart (no history of heart problems) and died from complications.
THEY DO NOT KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS DRUG.
IT IS NOT WORTHY ANY RISK. IT SHOULD BE BANNED.
OUR FDA and DRS. DISGUST ME

oh my goodness...I am so sorry for your sorrows, hon. It does look like that is what happened. I am so angry at the drug companies with all these so-called wonder drugs that make us ill/and or die. My heartfelt wishes of sympathy to you. I took myself off this drug as I felt awful.

God Bless.

Pam
