Please try not to go to that dark place. Many of us here have been dealing with this diagnosis for years and quite a few of us are living good lives even after experiencing an osteoporotic fracture. I am one of them - two years ago I had a vertebral compression fracture even though my T-score wasn't that bad. I went to the same place you did, convinced that I would now start fracturing regularly since I'd been on Fosamax for five years and even that wasn't enough to prevent me from fracturing.

I learned so much from the good people here and from other sources. I have not fractured since and am back to doing everything I used to do before the fracture. I walk, I run, I lift weights, I ride a bicycle, all without fear. I see a great endocrinologist now and have been on anabolic medication for over a year. I am on Evenity right now and will finish up a year of that in April.

I feel great and am no longer scared about what the future might hold. I know this can be scary but I take comfort in the fact that I am doing everything I can to prevent another fracture and that there are lots of people who go on to live a full life.

Wishing you the best and hoping that as you gain more knowledge about this condition you will regain your confidence.
