I’ll be 60 in February. My last bone scan was pretty good, and I expect the next to be better to some degree. I assume I will stop taking Boniva at that time, and she’ll tell me to continue with weight bearing exercises (which I suck at keeping up with) and making sure I get enough calcium and vitamin D. It takes a long time for changes to bone density, so I believe she’ll go back to following me with biannual scans to see if and when I need to go back to Boniva. Taking ibandronites for too long can have adverse effects on your bones, although my understanding is that it’s not common.
