Hi,
Do what I did and take the findings back to your doctor, if he is a professional he will be glad that you brought it to his attention. The doctors have been kept in the dark, the WARNING that the FDA required Merck to release was hidden on Page 17 of the document and not in the Warnings section at the beginning of the Document.

The pain she was experiencing are classic side effects, and the loss of blood flow that the other eye doctor speculated could also be attributed to the drug, as that is how it works, it effects the blood vessels and restricts flow.

Tell your wife not to have any dental work done, especially an extraction as it can lead to Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ), btw it is the Dentists who are picking up the spike in this very rare disease.

Anyway listen to the link I gave in the earlier post it explains everything in an unbiased and constuctive way and make your own mind up.


>Neil,
>My wife is taking it. Recently she has been complaining of a pain or discomfort in an arc from her eye near the nose over to her jaw hinge. Also she had a bad blood shot eye a few weeks ago. When she went to the doctor he sent her to an eye specialist who found some damage to her optic nerve. He is stumped as to why. He speculates possibly a serious sinus infection in the past. The other eye doctor speculated a loss of blood at some point in the past. Now that you have mentioned fosamax it seems scarily possible that she has been taking something that might be responsible for all this.
