Unfortunately, there are not enough doctors who are well educated on osteoporsis. We often get thrown in with the GP or GYN and treatments seem more like an experiment.
Considering our aging generation, you would think.....
In my area, there is not even a support group. This forum gives me a lot of information.

As far as "what do you think about...." Im just wondering if its the unknows of our futures living with osteoporosis.
Do we take a treatment until we die? How long can we take treatments? What are the long term effects? Down the road will we find this was not a good treatment? Those are the questions that plague me. How do we know, when even our doctors, who are treating us, really don't?
But yes, do educate yourself and PLEASE share what you learn!! This forum is the best education I have gotten.
And let us know what your DEXA SCAN shows. Im hoping you will be pleased.

Yes! And I am infuriated when I think of the pittance spent on women's health research. We need to all demand that our representatives pursue more money.

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. The entire piece you write from 'Do we take a treatment until we die? .....Through "How do we know when even our doctors treating us really don't?" All this really speaks for me, also. You're right about this forum; it's not only an education it feels like emotional support.
