I'm so sorry to hear what you have gone through. I'm also uncertain about making a decision on taking meds or doing everything i can naturally. nutrition, exercise, lose weight supplements. I cancelled my appt. tomorrow for IV treatment of Reclast. I'm going for naturally try to get this under control for now. I'm finding we have to make those choices and i wish I could help you more. I'm going to avoid the side effects of the meds. for now.

Veve1964, if you have osteopenia , go ahead an try the natural route, but if your DEXA is -4.00 in your spine, please consider taking the Reclast. This was my score last year, but I decided to skip the meds and their side effects and instead take supplements (Algae Cal) and do bone-strengthening exercises. I did, with my doctor's blessing. I was already in excellent shape, which is why people couldn't believe I had osteoporosis. Well, eight months later, I experienced multiple compression fractures in my spine. I had never felt such pain in my life. They have healed and I feel better, but my mobility is now limited, and I've lost 1 1/2 inches of height.
If someone had told me this could happen to me, I would have taken the bone meds.

Remember that the list includes POSSIBLE side effects. Side effects are not inevitable. Depends on the individual.
