People do get put on Fosamax for osteopenia. It happened to a friend of mine and she ended up with fractures due to being on it too many years,

@normahorn two friends of mine were recently told to take Fosamax with osteopenia in one case, and borderline in the other. I didn't think doctors were doing that anymore but they certainly were before the other meds we now have, were available. I guess they still are. Maybe it is a good thing for borderline cases-?

I don't know what I would do with scores like -2.7 or -2.9. @sugarmonkeys I forgot you were at -2.7.

It is becoming clear that sequencing and duration are issues for all of us. All these meds have limited time we can take them so unless we are very old, not sure what we are going to be doing for treatment in the long run.

@sugarmonkeys I hope you get good answers!
