Helen and mayofeb 2020, I am trying to pick my jaw up off the floor and jump start my heart after reading your posts. Thanks so much for sharing with me!! I am blown away by your posts!!!!! May I ask some questions? Please only answer if you are comfortable and if not, no worries. Or, if you prefer, you could answer in a private message. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable and I don't want to cross andy boundaries.

How young are you beautiful girls?? Have you broken any bones spontaneously aka, not injury/trauma? If so, which bones? Do you take steroids and if so, how many mg. per day and for how long? mayofeb202, which Bisphosphonate did you take?

I think it prudent for me to join the Rheumatology blog. It's going to be hard to keep up here but I want to try. I have so many appointments it's beyond belief but I will try.

Thank you so very much. My husband and I just discussed what you said (no names). We are both taken back. Ug. Take care of yourselves my friends. I would put some cute emoticons but this table won't allow me to do it anymore so hugs to you both!!!! Sunny

@sunnyflower. I was prescribed Fosamax. I actually fell last year trying stupidly to carry something heavy to my house. Landed kind of on top of the item with my right hip. Got an Xray, nothing broken, thank goodness. My daughter's mother in law had breast cancer and according to her, she lost 25 percent of bone density due to various treatments . She was on Fosamax too. She takes some supplements for joint pain. Fosamax is supposed to be taken for 3 to 5 years only, after which time, patient has to switch to something else which indicates that it's not a good drug to take long term. That alone worries me. I'm sure alot of people take this but I'm very sensitive to drugs. I'm not on any steroid. I have a small frame.. 5'2 and 105 lbs soaking wet so i don't really have much "cushion" when i fall so i have to be careful!
