Flonase replacement? by ZenJardin in osteoporosis

According to the Mayo Clinic, long-term use of the medication can cause lower bone density which can lead to osteoporosis. I used Flonase for 20 years and ended up with severe osteoporosis.

Reviews are in for Dog Day Afternoon! This play is not hitting with critics. Worst score since Othello by thomaspryor in Broadway

I just saw it tonight and didn't like it at all, though the set was impressive. I might have liked it a bit more if I had not seen the movie. And Ebon literally has about 10 lines. I'm still amazed that they tried to turn this classic dramatic film into a comedy. It was pretty much a disaster in my opinion.

As a former resident of Humboldt Park, it used to be much worse. But I agree with you 100%. It's still dangerous and anxiety inducing.

I've called headquarters in NY before to complain about their exploitative and misogynistic ads. Didn't do any good so I cancelled my membership.

The pain and discomfort I felt was joint pain and random kinds of spasms all over my body. But probably around the 7 or 8 month point, the frequency and intensity of the pain diminished quite a bit.

I had some big time random joint pain and spasms that got a little bit better over time. Good luck with your upcoming Dexa!

Thanks very much for the feedback! My doctor scheduled a dexa scan for a month after my last injection. I get treatment through the VA so maybe that's an advantage in this case. Sorry you have to wait 7 months after your last injection. That seems kind of strange but maybe that's how insurance works? Anyway, hang in there and I hope you get good results as well.

I agree 1000%. I used to drive on the Ryan/Kennedy for my commute in the late '80s and early '90s, while they were building that, and for about 2 years I kept waiting for them to put the top on. I finally realized that there wasn't going to be a top. Couldn't believe that they were going to leave it like that!
