@heyhey Being active, fitness, and well-being are important to you. You feel tearful, anxious, sleepless, pressured, and cornered regarding choosing an osteoporosis treatment that does not have long-term studies conducted.

It sounds to me that you already have your mind made up. You want to try a treatment that has more longitudinal studies already conducted. It sounds like your PCP is also on board with your decision.

You feel a lot of pressure to move forward with treatment. Due to your tearful, anxious, sleepless, hopeless, etc.symptoms, it's clear that this is extremely hard for you. I know you know you but, have a right to say no.

Members like @diana13 @artscaping @imatine @susanjd @donniehailey @ess77 @kathleen1314 @sunnyflower are part of other discussions in the group and they may be able to offer advice regarding the right treatment but also ways to advocate for yourself.

Due to your distress regarding this topic, I'm wondering if you've considered having someone to help you advocate for yourself when speaking with these providers about your care?
