I took Fosamax and within a few months developed gastric ulcers and could no longer take this medication.

I already had osteopenia before pmr.
An endocrinologist suggested Reclast, a once a year infusion. I've had 2 infusions, 2020 and 2021. My 2022 bone density improved so I decided to wait for 2024 results before any more infusions. I will be scheduling the bone density scan shortly. I agree that all the bone meds have undesirable side effects, it's a tough decision.
