Boniva

When J had to start a drug to maintain his bone mass there were a couple of choices once a week Fosamax and once a month Boniva. His doctor thought the once a month drug would be the better choice because of his other issues. I am so glad it's only once a month. He has to get up at the crack of dawn, take the pill on an empty stomach full glass of water and sit up for at least an hour. The reason for the early hours are so that his other meds are on time. He took it for the first time last month and it made him feel pretty crummy, we hoped he had a virus last month, but we are seeing the same symptoms this time. Lack of appetite and bone pain especially in his shoulder. So all that momentum of the kyphoplasty is set aside by the Boniva. Let's hope this doesn't crush his joy over the results of the back surgery. Knowing I have to do this again in a month is hard but as far as I know all the choices have this issue to some degree. C'est la vie, tomorrow is another day. And I have another sock to make and he will get better within the next couple days. He is dying to play his keys.
