What are the dangers of Fosamax?

You may be able to tolerate this drug, as my mother does very well. For me, I experienced, after one dose, severe flu like symptoms, leg pain, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrea. I will not take it again. I think a healthy diet rich in leafy greens, and taking calcium, with vitamin D and K along with magnesium is MUCH better than this terrible drug.
