Totally with you there. I'm so worried about it, but I have so many drug reactions. The few osteoporosis drugs I've tried...one dose gave me enough side effect, severe to make me stop. Fosomax - horrible GI pain, Tymlos - severe migraines, Evenity - disabling insomnia...and now tooth sensitivity though not sure it's from that, and I have pretty significant osteoporosis, but trying to do whatever I can without meds for now. Am on estrogen/prog. for menopause, and so far ok on that. My body just doesn't like anything it doesn't recognize. Try to stay active, weight bearing activity, some qigong/meditation, vitamin MK4, collagen protein. Doctors really pressure you and make you feel guilty, in my experience, like its the drugs or you die..it's terrible. It makes me not trust them. They should always present any alternatives. There are many that simply cannot take certain meds.

Thank you for stating this. I was referred to an osteoporisis clinic but think that was a mistake. Seeing a focused specialist sounds ideal. However, I am now questioning if I am regarded as a total person and not just bones. I also realize that their entire income comes from treating osteoporosis. I hate to think that way but do. I am still decidung if I will start treatment or not. I will be looking into switching to a more broad based doctor. What specialty should I look into?
