I am so sorry to hear of your ordeal dealing with this horrible disease. It's unfortunate that better treatments with less horrific side effects aren't available for us. Thank you for your response and may your Higher Power guide and protect you.
@joan26 I can relate, with 7 spinal fractures. People don't realize how much pain and disability can result, as well as a loss of independence. I wonder if you have done or are doing any bone-building drugs like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity.
I cannot do much but my daughter is visiting and noticing I am a little stronger than last year right after 4 of the fractures. Meaning, I can lift a little more. (I don't mention the pain.) I am on Tymlos.
I am lucky- I can drive. In fact the support of my car seat actually helps. Loss of driving would be tough since walking while carrying is hard.
