yes!!  very good point, my husband has cah, and is 34, but has the bones of an 70 yr lady.  his hip is also at great risk of fracture.  he has yearly bone density also done.  and he also take actonel.  in one year alone he had a 6% improvement in his bone density.  how about you?  have you had sucess with the actonel?  i will say that he recently had some labs done, and they check a vit. d level, which they said wasn’t as high as they wanted it. (even though he takes multivitamins also)  have your doctor ever check your vit. d level?  so know he also takes a vit d pill, rx once a month. 

did your doctor tell you that the hydro was better than the pred?

take care
