bill,

thanks for responding.
so far, my osteopenia hasn't progressed since the first time i was tested and doctors haven't suggested the meds.

i have problems with gastritis and am worried that when i need a med to control the bone loss, the meds will flare my gastritis which i mostly have under control. do you know anything about which meds may or may not irritate the stomach? is that something you even considered? how is fosomax in that department? i could research some more on my own when the time comes, but i like with everything else on this site, others experiences are invaluable.
