Some of us have fractured and will suffer just about any side effects to take medications, but as it turns out, many of us can tolerate a medication at some point, without significant problems. Drug companies are required to list side effects, and those who do suffer significant ones are more likely to post here.

If osteoporosis is not severe and there are no fractures, Dr. Keith MCCormick's books are very helpful. He wrote "The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and more recently "Great Bones," which has a lot of info about meds. I hope the non-medication route works well for you but I post here because I delayed meds and now have 7 spinal fractures- life changing pain and disability.

Windyshores, thanks for responding. I appreciate the references. I'll look them up. You have,aslo, given me something to think about.
