My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague. His blood work consistantly comes back with low amylase and lipase. Yet they dont see any need for further investigation. I have been told he has a sensitive stomach. As a mother I see more. I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...

Well, this seems to be a side effect I have not seen before or read about. I'm 67 years old, very blonde, tiny and petite---a runner and in excellent health. After pleading with my doctor for years he finally scheduled a bone heel test last year that indicated no bone loss had occurred. Three months ago my doctor finally prescribed a bone density MRI performed and whoopie-do, I have major bone loss! Two months ago I was put on Fosamax 40 to be taken once a week, a 5000 unit Vitamin D capsule and 500 mg's of Vitamin C to be taken 3 times a day. I have trouble swallowing along with dizzy spells , my stomach pain is severe and feels as though it's on fire. Also, my eyes seem to be much more sensitive and feel dry. I called my PCP last week and he said "not to worry, it takes time to adjust". Today I had my gyno appointment and the doctor indicated I have fecal bleeding. Since I have a colonscopy every 5 years (most recent was last year) I am positive it is not a bowel problem. Has anyone heard of bleeding from the stomach while taking this medicine? My gynecologist seems concerned, my PCP does not. I am wondering if a well-balanced diet with lots of calcium products would not be just as good---probably a lot better than taking this medicine and making Merck and Company richer than they already are. All I know is I felt a lot better BEFORE taking Fosamax 40.
