Thank you for that encouragement…I am a little worried because I had a little nausea last night for the first time after 10 days on it. I read too much calcium can cause that side effect…other than that I have been okay. It’s really good to connect with someone in the same situation…I’m 65 healthy otherwise, was active but got a scan -4.8 lumbar t score

@chrisdietrich forums like these of course suffer from massive selection bias - it's really also helpful in keeping the balance when people who tolerate these meds well report, so thanks. About 25% (a little less) of people on anabolics quit them and of those just 14% of those do so because of side effects, the rest for $$ reasons, per clinical and real life studies. I'm obsessively researching which is what I do when I'm really anxious. Better than taking to drink or political doomscrolling I guess. 🙂 One thing I like about the anabolics is that again according to studies is that almost all of the symptoms seem to be more likely to cease than with other meds if you quit. Seriously going to try to sleep now.
