@lovelyday I post here because I was feeling strong and then suffered horrible fractures from one unwise movement. I felt invulnerable because osteoporosis has no symptoms.

If your scores aren't too bad, a more holistic approach can work for awhile. I was not able to get on meds for years, despite trying. Just want you to know that I have found Tymlos to be very tolerable. I started at a low dose and ramped up, and have never taken the full dose. The pen has 8 "clicks" and I do 6 or7. I have gained 20% in my spine. Just something to keep under your hat. Even if it had side effects, they would be a whole lot better than the pain and disability I have from fractures.

Any major side effects I'm tired of sides effects and I know calcium can be dangerous too to much of it can cause narrowing to the heart valves making you more susceptible to strokes so I hope the side effects aren't like that👍🏻

And my bones are pretty bad but no fractures to the spine I've had a couple car accidents that did some damage to my discs in my neck not good and well my hips are bone on bone I do have Osteoporosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis as well 😵‍💫

And I'm due to get my Bone Density test soon been getting them for awhile now and I'm not sure what FRAX percentages are all I know is my BONES are bad and the joints are too 😔

Last year in December I was leading over to grab a cake out of a case at the grocery store and I think I broke my rib I don't know what happened but it was very painful

But years prior to that I'm somebody that goes to festivals and I LOVE to DANCE and have a good time when my body allows me I'm a pretty good DANCER anyways I like to have FUN so because I'm petite which tends to be troublesome for us petite gals when it comes to our BONES it can be tough

Anyways for some reason people like to come up to me and grab me and pick me up and it's guys and gals by the way so CRAZY I don't know what the draw is my boyfriend is like it's so WEIRD I've had this happen a number of times I couldn't even stop the person and they grab me so fast one person crushed my ribs another one did it years later yeah 😵‍💫

So on my FULL BODY scan x-ray which I just had it showed TRAUMA to a couple of my ribs and two years ago I broke my wrist falling down I tripped because of a raised sidewalk that was the first time I broke a bone horrible 😔
