How are you going with your weight bearing exercises? How is your BMD ? I have refused these drugs over many years and have a very low BMD. I was diagnosed at 30 so have been refusing the drugs for 34yrs. There is a program called the ONERO program which was too much for me. At the end of 25 I started 1 day a week with an Exercise physiologist that works with older women with Osteo. I have read that your BD looks better on the tests after all these drugs but the bone itself becomes more chalky.
