@patjack2 many of us didn't take drugs for awhile. I am hoping you are at the start of this journey and your DEXA scores aren't too bad. I also hope you efforts help you.
I come on this forum to tell folks that my fractures were and are painful and disabling, truly life-altering. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until we fracture, Fractures shorten the spine causing muscle spasms, as well as GI, lung and heart issues due to overcrowding in the inside. I feel that Tymlos literally saved my life.
I felt perfectly strong the day I fractured three lumbar vertebrae. We have to rely on factors other than how we feel, which is hard. Bone density, bone quality (TBS), Frax score including weight and height and CTX, P1NP blood tests as well as hormonal status.
I hope you will let us know how your program and you do.
