Afraid it the treatment meds for osteoporosis

@beachesanddreams it does seem that some of these meds are similar to chemo, in terms of side effects ! We need far better treatments !

@nycmusic Indeed! 🙌🏻 I also had chemo/radiation 22 years ago, and I honestly wasn’t nearly as frightened of getting sick then as I am now!
I so agree about better treatments, and I’ll say this with my whole chest: if these drug companies are going to put out drugs with these nasty side effects, then it is absolutely incumbent upon them to provide patients with OTC treatments and other advice to combat the side effects and contribute to overall health and quality of life, both physically AND mentally.
When I was on chemo, a nurse took 20 minutes prior to my first induction to provide a detailed list of OTC treatments that help with the side effects, and that woman was a lifesaver, so much so, I’d give gift bags full of the same items to women I knew who were diagnosed.
