what can I do now

what can I do now

I was just informed after a bone scan that I have osteoporosis of the femoral neck portion of the hip.  I am a 63 year old female.  This news has deeply depressed me.  Is there anything I can do besides take Fosamax to increase the bone in that area.  I have heard some distressing news about this drug and would like to try other options first.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thank you

Check out "reclast".....it's a once a year infusion.   I have taken actonel weekly for years without a problem.

What else has the doc told you to do?
