I really resonate with your post and inner turmoil. You've stated all the logical reservations about jumping into a particular treatment. We (the consumer) are supposed to trust the provider as they are the expert. It is normal to wonder at whose convenience is the recommendation and is there any kickback for them when recommending a certain treatment option. The last thing is that once something goes into your body, that's that.. you are on that particular journey. Debilitating and incapacitating fractures will ruin us if we sustain them. So we must do something. Do your research. Look at risk v benefit for YOU, know all anabolics require a follow up drug to "lock in" gains. My thoughts are with you as you make a decision that is right for you.

Welcome @sonoranwoman, You are so right about needing to be informed as a consumer of healthcare and learn about our conditions. This can help us become a better advocate for our own healthcare. I'm wondering if you have heard about the Patient Revolution website? Lots of good information on the site including some tools for discussions with your doctor.
