@gently, thanks once again for the information, and for your quick response. No worries that I will consider you a medical expert; I understand you are not. But you do have a great knack for research, and for explaining the research, and I truly value that and am grateful for it.
I do have lupus, so am especially grateful you let me know that there's now some indication that the bisphosphinates can activate SLE. Mine is mostly controlled with drugs, as is my ulcerative colitis. (My third autoimmune gift, celiac disease, I manage with an extremely strict gluten-free diet, and even then have some issues.) I also seem to have mast cell/histamine production issues. I have had to deal with these illnesses for the past 40+ years, and if any of them were to be exacerbated by an osteoporosis drug, I would be angry indeed.
If you would like, feel free to list any number of "discouraging links" that might pertain to the autoimmune/op drug issue. As far as I'm concerned, forewarned is forearmed. And I certainly will need my questions and evidence lined up solidly when I next meet with my endo.
Meantime, thanks again. I wish you all the best!
