I was on Fosomax D for over 2 years. In that time I had developed pain in all of my joints. Starting with my wrists and ending with me having to crawl up the stairs because my knees were in so much pain. Vision problems and leg cramps were also an issue. I went to the same Dr. over this span and she did not realize that Fosomax was the problem until I found all the information online. I went off the medication and it took about 18 months for all of the symptoms to finally go away. My bone density tests showed bone loss so I had to take something. I am now on Evista. This causes hot flashes and weight gain. That I can live with.
