As I have received many replies, I have decided to take Tri-Boron for 6 
months and then see how my 6 month bone scan shows.     I am leery of Fosomax due 
to the fact of teeth/mouth/jaw wise.
I have extensive dental work done in my mouth.    so..............   I will 
know in 6 months if Tri-Boron works.

My health insurance carrier arbitrarily changed my osteoporosis drug from
Actonel to Fosomax. (because they make the drug).   I talked to my 
rheumatologist
about it and he told me they had to give me a choice.  But the  most
important thing he told me was that Fosomax can cause osteonecrosis of the 
jaw and
this medical condition can't be reversed.  That said, I called Medco and 
asked
them to change my prescription back to Actonel.

 I have it too, so a year ago I got on Bio-identical hormones, estrogen and 
progesterone, and a product call Pro Bono (to help build bones).  I just had 
another bone scan and my spine increased 7%! Praise God!!
 I do not want to take drugs if I don't have to.  There are so many side 
effects.  So my doctor is letting me try this and I'll have another bone scan next 
year.
