For Osteoporosis "I took Fortical for 2 1/2 years. I immediately experienced extreme nausea and debilitating exhaustion. I could not get through my usual day. My body swelled up, and I looked like the Michelin Man. I tried to fight through the effects, and my doctor told me to take the spray for four days a week and then take a 'holiday' for the other three. Then, after two years, my calf and thigh muscles would seize, and, finally, I started to fall after these occurrences. I was given no directions on how much and what kind of calcium to take with the drug. No information on how much Vitamin D2 or other minerals to add to the treatment. When I started to fall, treatment was discontinued, and we waited for two years to see if any increased bone growth and density had taken place. It had not, I continued to lose bone at 5 - 7% each year. Now on vegetable calcium and other minerals, and bone growth has improved to 'normal.'"
