I understand why you are sticking with the alendronate. I'm guessing, due to the Sjogren, you already use something like Biotene to help with the dry mouth, but if you don't, you might want to consider it.

That's funny about the tori. Generally, the only people who've heard of tori are those who have tori that causes issues. You should mention to your dentist that you think that remnant molar in the roof of your mouth might be Torus Palatinus (Palatal Tori).

There are many of us in the low BMD world who want to know if vibration therapy actually works. I've searched and found a few testimonials claiming that LIV has increased bone density such as this one https://mybones.health/health-news/carols-story/ but that was from a website that sells the Marodyne LiV so....

I've watched interviews with Dr. Rubin, the scientist behind the Marodyne LiV, and he sounds pretty convincing, but $3000 is a lot to pay when you don't know whether or not it will improve your BMD. If I were 100% positive it would work for me, I'd pay $10,000+ for it 🙂

The good thing about the OsteoBoost Belt is that, if/when it becomes available, it will be covered by insurance.

I recently discovered Dr. Doug Lucas. He has a 3 part series on vibration therapy. In one of the sessions, he talks with Dr. Rubin about the Marodyne LiV. Here is a link to Dr. Lucas talking about whether or not vibration therapy works. Ultimately, it sounds like he thinks it might. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVfn7r8ddTc
