I never had those symptoms
I never had those symptoms but I have read here of others having them. Many here have said that those flu-like symptoms are the worst with the first dose and then disappear over time.0 -
Fosomax.........
been on the generic 70mg for several months now. Had those flu like symptons too....but lasted only two days. I sometimes get back pains etc.........I never really know if if it the fomax, the armidex, or getting older :-) I take it as soon as I wake up on Sundays...that way I remember cause it is the big newspaper day. I then check in on this board and my emails........by then the 30 minutes have passed and I can have coffee and all the other meds I am on. Good luck......let us know how it goes for you. When my insurance changes in September, I am going to ask about the once a year injection rather than this weekly pill deal. BCBS would not approve the annual infusion, so that is why I got the fosomas weekly pills. Hugs0 -
2nd Fosamax yesterday
Yesterday I took my 2nd Fosamax (generic). So far the only possible SE was that my feet were a little puffy last night but that could be because of the heat and all I did outside yesterday so not sure if coincidence or not. Didn't do it after the first one.

Could not tolerate Fosamax
Could not tolerate Fosamax because I had acid reflux. Am on reclast infusion once a year. So far no side effects unless some of those I blame on femara are from the reclast. My oncologist assured me that my insurance would pay for it because it was part of my cancer treatment and it did. Sometimes I think our doctors could help us out on our insurance issues if they would. I would talk to my oncologist about it.0 -

I took Fosamax for 4 yrs. I developed acid reflux from it. Quit taking it, and use extra calcium. Viactiv. I also developed Celiac disease. Which they say isn't from the Fosamax, but who really knows for sure!0 -
