HI Beth honey!
I have been on Actonel for about 4 months. Yes, I am a C, I do not know if it is affecting me or not, I take so many different meds that it is hard for me to know. The only Calcium that I can tolerate is Viactiv. I take 1 in the morning, 1/2 of one in the middle of the day, and 1 at night. This could be causing me constipation, but I keep on going. This bone thing is so important, I am afraid of falling and breaking bones. I fall often, because I am not coordintated, and don't spend much time looking down when I walk, I am trying hard to be better about that.
I had no idea about the soft drinks. I used to knock them back as much as you. I wish I had known.
My sister tells me that her dr. says we need to get regular sunshine, it helps the Calcium work better in our bodies, and regular exercise! I hate exercise. But, I do have to get at it, I have the responsibility of 2 boys, and occasionally their little 2 yr. old brother. If I want to be healthy for them as they grow older, I need to start being better to my body.
If I get stressed, I get C so fast. I was in Court with my son most of the day, that is a terrible place to be (family court). I saw 3 people at different times have breakdowns right in the waiting area, OMGOSH it really got to me, seeing the pain in these people. Loosing control, after loosing a battle in front of a judge. A-hem...I digress...When I got home, I felt as if I had not been to the potty in a very long time. Yes, it is painful.
I don't know if I answered any of your ??, I hope so. I have been away from my pc for a few days, sorry it took me so long to see this!
