Hello DD,

Unfortunately, figuring the source of our weakness is very challenging. Weakness is listed as a side effect for fosamax, not necessarily just for mg patients. I haven’t found it on any mg cautionary lists either.

Due to significant weakness following a crisis, my primary decided I should take a small hiatus from it until my strength returns. The risk of weakness causing a fall, while having strong bones didn’t make sense.

I’m not sure if there is an osteoporosis medication that doesn’t have the potential to cause weakness. I’ve asked my neurologist for a recommendation, it seems trial and error was all they could suggest.

Wish I had a better answer than listen to our body until we find the right medication.
