Bisphosphonates or Not? Both No Win

Hello Colleen, thank you so much for caring about my situation to put for the time and effort to connect me with the right people AKA links.

I think the answers to your questions are in my latest replies two people in the bone joint and muscle osteoporosis to take or not to take or something like that which was a discussion I started.

I don't mean to put you off but am not feeling up to answering just now. I will try to be more precise as soon as I can.

But just know, I have the sweetest, kindest, most patient endocrinologist on the planet! She has gone above and beyond to explain to myself in the husband about all the drugs that I could take and has included pages of information and clinical trials on these options.

I am currently not taking anything but have had three endocrinologist over the years and at least five years ago they began to tell me I need to take an osteoporosis medication because I have already had spontaneous fractures due to so many steroids and so many years on steroids.

Most of my providers, which are mostly specialist and I'm talking a lot of Specialists, tell me I'm a very complicated patient because of all my diseases and conditions. I feel this is a no-win because I am already on to immunosuppressant drugs so taking the in phosphonates would be a third. I was on 3 but had to discontinue my 20 some years of Plaquenil because it cause tissue death in my retina.

I am so grateful for the links and connections you have sent me and can't wait to have a time to begin reading them.

I am very blessed that you have taken your time to help me out because this decision is weighing so heavily on myself and my husband that it's taking a toll for certain which isn't good for my very poor health in so many ways.

I hope you're having a good day and are as acutely aware of the innumerable blessings that surround us, as I am, even in the midst of unrelenting all over pain and the usual fires that we walk through here on this Earth.

Take special care of yourself calling as you are really a special person! Many blessings and peace for your soul, Sunny flower😊

Addendum: when I said I am not taking anything, I meant for osteoporosis. Lord knows I'm on a lot of other medications, quite a few are toxic including daily prednisone. So where I to take the bisphosphonates that would mean I would be on 3 immunosuppressant medications. Maybe I already addressed that prior it seems like I said so much so I apologize if it is another repeat.
