yes, and you know what helped me make the decision to stay with it? someone (either on this board or elsewhere, can't remember) wrote, if you had cancer that could be treated with chemo, would you leave your cancer untreated because chemo has uncomfortable side effects? somehow that gave me a diiferent perspective. we might not think of osteoporosis as being as serious as cancer, but as i mentioned before, i have seen the older women in my family become completely debilitated by it -- permanently folded over until the end of their lives.

@laurapearl That is really a good way of looking at it. Thanks for the thought. With that in mind, I think if you hope to have a good number of years left, it makes sense to do one of the available drugs, despite their side-effects.
