@contentandwell @artscaping @qigongangel Thank you so much for all the supportive feedback. I am a nursing professor and a strong vaccine advocate. I had the idea that I was and behaving similarly to those who are vaccine hesitant. Unfortunately, I have not had a good PCP yet at Kaiser, since I joined in 2016 (the one o wanted finally had an opening after trying for months). Ordinarily, I would be able to go to my PCP, have a conversation and get resources, but I haven’t trusted my PCPs enough to do that. Hopefully I can with this one. But it’s helpful to know a way to reach a rep at the drug company. I will start searching for the clinical trial findings, which I haven’t been able to access so far. Unfortunately, I do have a history of adverse reactions, as well as paradoxical reactions, as well as allergies, to several drugs. Adverse reactions from Topamax were multi system and my urinary tract never really completely recovered. So I have a more personal fear of opening myself up to something that will stay in my system unavoidably for a year. I will most definitely follow up and feel like I’m in the right place. Thank you.

@joanme I hope your PCP will be better than your others. I have been through so many PCPs with little luck. I changed last year and have so far only had one appointment with my new one but she is supposedly quite good. My last PCP was very personable but I feel he let me down a couple of times which was the reason I decided to switch.

I did have on PCP who I loved but having young children she chose to become a hospitalist for a better schedule. That was before the hospitals owned all of the doctors and the doctors were on call. Now they never really are, it's a different world, here at least.

@mfratt I hope you have success with the path you are choosing. I tried that for a year, along with plenty of exercise including weights yet my DEXA did get worse. I am now on Tymlos.
Exercise is so important too. I have a book "Strong Women, Strong Bones" and also a booklet put out by Harvard Health, https://www.health.harvard.edu/special-health-reports
These are not free but they do have some free resources also.
