osteoporosis treatement?

[semperfiohana]

i'm supposed to take fosamax, but can't seem to ever remember to take it. and the fact that you have to take it before you eat and then wait an amount of time and then make sure you eat and make sure you only sit or stand for 30 min after you take the pill, no laying down is just pushes my buttons the wrong way. here's a question what's safe for pregnant ladies to take? i do take calcium that has viatmin d in it. i have osteopina (i'm sure i spelled that wrong). that was at my last bone scan about 2 1/2 years ago.

My brother also has my lung disorder but he just got dx with osteoporosis. Excuse me I do not mean to sound ignorant, or uneducated, but is osteoporosis something that those with CF or my lung disease more susceptible too? My brother is only 29 and I am 31 so am just curious. He just diagnosed with Osteoporosis a couple of months ago.

A few points:


1. This is why many CFer's use IV Boniva or Reclast. It's a pain to comply with the restrictions of PO Fosamax, Boniva or Actonel

2. You should be getting a DEXA scan once a year, per CFF guidelines.

Many people with lung issues are on inhaled or systemic steroids, which can make us more prone to bone loss <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
