Thank you for sharing your journey. I was just diagnosed with osteo from my Dexiscan. 2/2025 . My vit D was at 27. ( Seemed very low but she wasn’t worried. My Dr recommended a multivitamin, a calcium supplement and Fosomax. I am hesitant about the
Fosomax . Do you have any alternatives or studies supporting its issues?

I’m not sure your situation but have been on fosomax. Alendronate for 3 years with no real improvement. Cleveland stated I will not gain bone density from this. I haven’t yet seen them except virtual & them seeing my labs and Dexa scores. I haven’t a clue how each person or drug works, but sharing my experience & history for what it’s worth.

I do appreciate reading others journeys.
Good luck

Please do your research regarding vitamin D. It’s my understanding (from medical professionals) that you should not take calcium without D3 and K2. They are needed for absorption and to carry the calcium to the right places and not to your arteries.
Best wishes,
