It's awful - I was a hospice therapist for years (Retired LCSW) and had my own game plan all worked out - hospice pts are largely dying of CA. Somehow never thought about getting hit with something that could lead to sustained excruciating pain that won't kill you (in my case a hip fracture), with the only recourse (like 50% or so prevention with with Bisphosphonate) being a medication that many, many people aren't compliant with because of horrible side effect. I like the sound of Tymlos because the success rate is way higher, and the possible side effects sound nasty but not as frightening. It's been an awful couple of weeks but it helps to work hard to try to get a clear and informed picture, and great to find a support group here. I try to correct for negative bias here because forums are going to attract largely people trying to cope with bad outcomes, but it's also true that those are under-reported and under-researched in the main medical sources. Anyway, thanks, it's exhausting. I'm also suddenly afraid to move, just when I want to step up safe exercises and take more walks, and it's comforting to know that this is not a weird reaction. 'What if I fall? What if I bump against something or just make a wrong move?" Ugh.
