Your post stated so perfectly where I am in my decision making process regarding my osteoporosis diagnosis, and echoes my thoughts that there are a lot of things we don't know about our choices. Three days ago I had an initial appointment with an endocrinologist, and just a few minutes into the conversation when I was asking questions about if it was possible to stop bone loss naturally, or even what could be the cause of my bone loss to try and address that - the doctor asked me if the reason I didn't want to take drugs was because of any side effects. (I hadn't even said yet that I was totally opposed to taking drugs. Just asking initial questions.). He then told me I probably wouldn't be a good candidate for taking drugs because of my hesitation. I then asked "Well, IF you prescribed drugs for me what would it be?" He said either Tymlos or Evenity for a couple of years. Followed by Prolia. I left without signing on to any medication, and no closer to knowing what is best for me. I am thankful to this forum for information on experiences both positive and negative.
