@osteop60yay I am growing to believe that there are many women feeling the same way. I also felt the frustration of my rheumatologist when I told her I discontinued the once a week osteoporosis med because it too caused serious muscle cramping and bone pain. My numbers are relatively low, yet my doc is adamant about my starting Boniva now. I say this because she also told me, after stating I was very unsure about needing the medication now (no change in over 2 years), she said “you don’t have to take anything” It’s up to you.
It’’s just extremely difficult to intentionally take medication that causes you to feel unwell.
