Hi Bev, and welcome! I am so sorry to hear about your husband's pain problems.
I would think that Hopkins should have a
pain management clinic or specialist of some sort that they could refer you to. (I live near Baltimore, too.) I will try to do a bit of research and see what I can find.

Interesting. I wonder how the
animal testing is going (went?).
Edited to add: I did some searching and there is no more recent information that I could find.

Hope your cousin does alright with the surgery and I hope your mom is doing ok. You've talked a little bit about her on the board, if I remember right she has advanced osteoporosis. Does she take anything for that or is there
anything she does or can do about it?
See you when you get back!

I personally find them rather annoying, but I think if I had not already had discussions about medication with my doctor, they might make me consider it.

Hi Calley and welcome!
I found this information about Fosamax and GERD: http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/osteoporosis-d rug-amp-gerd.html
Boniva is taken orally also, but only once a month. The only advantage I see to using Boniva is that the esophagus may get more chance to recover from any
irritation in between doses. Reclast is given by infusion several times a year, I believe.

On occasion. Next year I am slated for a complete
health check-up and I'll also look into that.

YAY for her! What an inspiration to the rest of us.
I started TKD a few years ago after years of telling myself I was too old. Good thing for me I wasn't able to convince myself because just a few months ago and I got my black belt and acheived a life long goal.
I'm so proud of me that I'm currently in the process of talking myself into starting something else I've always wanted to do.....
