Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi , Do you by chance live in the Thunder Bay area? Also, what is Fosamax? I think $10 a week is pretty cheap, espicially since when my family had only 80% insurance coverage, my out of pocket expences were $500 a month!! Lucky now, it is 100% covered! I had a bone scan in June and I guess I lit up like a Christmas tree. Good luck and drive safe!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yes Traci i agree as you,its just like going to cafe & having breakfast for 10 bucks.I havent figured out what i pay out of pocket but its not 500 i know that!! Fosamax i think is a bone builder to prevent osteoperosis,my other kit is a pain it the butt would be alot easier to take this once a week,instead of everyday & havta worry about having no food or milk products for 2 hours prior & after.Take care . d.Canada Re: Rhumy Update Hi , Do you by chance live in the Thunder Bay area?
