I am in full agreement with you. Oddly enough, I am a person who is very afraid of potential drug side effects. I totally get it that not every body reacts the same way to meds. I have had bad experiences too.
However, you don't know until you try a medication if you will be one of the lucky ones.
I know about everything you need to do for your bones and without medication I was on the fast train to fractures. We need to remember that the side effects of a fracture are serious and often result in the loss of one's independence.

I spent the last six months recovering from three minor stress fractures in my foot (no fractures prior to this) and I have been on Prolia (off and on) for a few years, successfully. However, due to the lack of healing, my doctor is considering Tymlos because of its cost and my inability to tolerate Forteo (many years ago). Losing one’s independence for six months was very difficult and challenging; both physically and emotionally. As patients, I feel it’s really to our benefit to think about, research, and consider the pros and cons. I am willing to have a future, if possible, that provides me a level of independence. Thanks for listening everyone and good luck on all your journeys ❤️
