You are doing all the right things, except for the worry part. Your body has told you that you do not do well with these osteoporosis drugs. I was on Fosamax for 8 years, had a bone scan every two years during that time, and every time my bones were worse. (A friend of mine had the same experience - she had been on Actenol for years.) I have been off Fosamax for 5 years and, since getting off of it, I have had two bone scans, the last one only a month ago. Both scans showed that my bones were stable - i.e., they hadn't gotten worse. These drugs may help some people but not everyone and some have had horrific side effects (call them reactions). These drugs are being pushed by the manufacturers who are making billions (that right!) off of them. I think the doctors should be pushing nutrition and exercise and should be prescribing these drugs only as a last resort. One thing that has not been talked about is how the clinical tests are done. There are scientists who have serious questions about the accuracy of these tests and I have a research paper on this that I could send to you. So stop wrorrying and enjoy life!!!
