Hi Barb,

I tried Actonel, the once a week kind. I took one pill and it burned my esophagus so I didn't take it again. I also have GERD and take Nexium each morning. I had to give up coffee as well. My PCP prescribed Fortical which is a nasal mist taken once a day in one nostril. I tolerated that well but stopped taking it for other reasons. I have two full containers of Fortical left btw.
