I have chosen not to take any Rx medications. I have already survived multiple fractures due to trauma. Incredibly painful rehabbing those fractures; however, I prefer to live out my twilight years without hurting my total body with these drugs. No one really knows the ramifications of taking most of these drugs long term. If my body has such negative responses, it is telling me “no”. I am sticking with my supplements and exercise. Most of these drugs treat the spine vs. the hip where I could use the most improvement. My spine is osteopenia and my hip is osteoporosis. Hope that you find the best solution for your body. We are all so unique. 😊

Dear Group. I had to be on meds due to severity of my bone degenration. I have never taken drugs but in this case it was necesaary and a God send.. I was on tymlos with various serious side effects to manage but I did learn to manage them. I was actonel short term and that had serious side effect but it did what it needed to do, so I am thankful. I am now on Evenity taking shots in the abdomin. Minor injection site issues and minor muscle/joint pain 7 days after dose. and I pray that Evenity helps to heal my feet bones. We are all different. One med is easy for one person/ hard for another. Please do not say these meds are bad.. Rather - they may not have worked for you for various reasons. or you may not have support to learn to manage the side effects. Many doc so not have the education to help up with side effects and that needs to be improved We need support in this forum to help each other. I send positive energy for your healing journey
