Yes, pondering this issue has led me to research carefully and to learn whatever I can—including from this site, where other patients share their experience and support one another… the choices for OP are not easy..ideally our docs are partners in healing and can help us…OP develops slowly, so I’m using this year to sort it all out, without immediately diving into strong meds. Recently cancer-free, so my docs are cautious about what to prescribe…so, at present, I’m very proactive in learning as much as possible first. Meds for life is no small issue.
