@gently scary...thought one case. I have lupus and high antibodies to scleroderma, GERD, multiple allergies and sensitivities (and afib, kidney disease, history of breast cancer) and every medication is scary. Those of us with fractures need to find a way, and if we don't do a bisphosphonate we lose gains.

I continue to feel that the solution for us is test doses or lower doses in general, sometimes more frequently and sometimes not. The medical system is stressed almost everywhere and making these changes in a slow moving pharmaceutical and medical complex would be very slow, even with our doctors advocating.

So we need flexible doctors who are willing to do what is best for us.
