Osteoporosis DX and Overwhelmed

"There is no way I will ever take any of the bone meds."
Osteoporosis leads to fractures, esp over the age of 70. Basically this person is saying they would rather experience a fracture with the associated pain and disability, then even try a bone medication. I highly suggest you go to a forum where people discuss their fractures and how they are dealing with the consequences of their newfound permanent disability.

@roseincalifornia thank you for your concern. I have read the accounts of many people in other forums who have osteoporosis and have no fractures. Many tried the bone meds and had adverse effects and some for whom they didn't work and they were worse off after discontinuing. There are also many who are managing with using natural means. I will do what I feel is right for me and it doesn't involve taking dangerous drugs. You can't have PHARMA without HARM.
