No, I don't have any fractures. However, due to moving too fast and not paying attention, I've broken toes, hand, and foot bones. I began taking biphosphonates as ordered when DEXAs revealed osteopenia.
Because I'm widowed, live by myself, haven idea of my family history (adopted), cared for my husband with cancer for 13 years before his passing and at the same time cared for my mother for the last 10 years of her life, and am pretty much on my own, it's very important that I'm my own advocate.
Over the years with routine doctor visits and lab results and circumstances which have led to other tests, I have other health issues I need to follow up on (thyroid, cardiac, GI). So I face these challenges and attempt to get the best medical advice and follow through.
I'm very thankful my mind is still sharp and I'm able to take care of myself.
