Thank you so much for sharing and I'm so sorry you have suffered so much at the hands of these medical protocols that did more damage than good apparently.
And yet that seems to be the case in many of these forums for whatever disease I research. They want to just give me drugs and I've read all the bad side effects those bisphosphonates produce.
Everybody seems to be different and reacts differently to different treatments it's very tiring to have to research and find out by using yourself as a Guinea pig what will work for you. What else can we do?

no - not done more harm than good.... its been GOOD and there has been nothing else - or I wouldn't have done it. Its just a trade-off sometimes. WE have to play our own doctor and advocate for ourselves... stay informed with the last medical scholarly advances. Watch the medications we are offered. I always ask for the BEST. and believe me - when I say the government is contracting with crappy cheap meds so everyone can have access! Its nice to give everyone access, but those cheaper drugs always have PROBLEMS. I ask the doctors to write for the prior auths so I can get the BEST medications.
I just broke my wisdom tooth. going for an emergency extraction today. Good thing I am NOT on the bisphosphonates! I am on the Tymlos. I can go ahead with what I need to do. I always inquire if medications have lactose or gluten because I am intolerant. Turns out the cheap ones do. So I get the better medications and avoid gastric issues. Its work, but no one else will do it. We just have to continue talking to each other and the doctors!
