I am not sure how often I can take Atelvia in a 4-5 years on, 1 year off routine.

I have only been on Atelvia with my doctor. I have a delicate stomach and asked for it at the get-go actually, as enteric-coated.

I think my Dexa bone density numbers are not good, especially my spine. However, I have not had a fracture and I have not lost height. My blood tests are decent and in the right range. I engage in normal life activities except for things that don't make sense with osteo (fall hazard sports or outings).

I assume my doctor thinks I am not in "bad enough shape" yet for all those injections/infusions I see GPs advertising in their offices.

I plan on discussing options though\at my early 2025 annual appointment.

I walk a lot, weather permitting, lift light (8 lb) weights and do core strengthening exercises. I also stretch, which I think is important for balance/fall issues.
