Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 05:56 PMCarla, it's very easy to get frustrated and angry when you've got a lot of health issues. It's natural, too - don't put yourself down or feel guilty for being mad! You feel what you feel... Hey, as I said, one Diet Coke a day isn't going to do any harm - it's the steady diet, all day long, that doesn't help your bones. I'm surprised they say you don't have osteoporosis, yet have given you Reclast... strange. Anyway, sounds like you've taken treatment into your own hands - hope it works out for you. And that you start to feel better soon! PJH

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 05:05 PMI have a hard time ditching the diet coke. I like to drink beer so I switched to miller lite which is only 3.2 carbs per beer. one rum and diet coke is 0 carbs and 0 calories. you do the math. I am tired of letting go of everything. I have had 2 fractured hips, one of which broke completely in half. The doctors won't diagnose me with osteoporous, but still managed to talke me into getting the reclast shot after which I was on fosomax and started spitting up blood. I now take lots of bone building vitamins on my own. I recently had a root canal, the first in my life to give me excessive pain after and now I'm wondering if it was the reclast. I am really tired of this. I'm 53 years old and feel like I am aging tooooo fast.

diet soda

Monday, March 16, 2009 at 04:06 PMWhat about non caffine diet sodas like Diet Sprite, Fresca, etc. Do they hurt your bones like the diet caffine sodas do?

Monday, March 16, 2009 at 04:56 PMThey still do hurt your bones, due to the phosphate. Caffeinated sodas are worse, but any sodas (diet or regular) aren't really doing much for you health-wise, bones or anything else. PJH
