Hi @gigi4

I have been reading a lot about the effectiveness and the side effects of bisphosphonates as well. I can't lie, I'm a bit reluctant and scared but on the other hand, every drug has its own side effects and everyone should weigh the pros and cons, benefit vs cost of it... The thing that scares me most, however, are fractures, and the fact that I'm still young and maybe I have to live with this awful condition for the rest of my life.
That's why I decided to start taking the drug my doc prescribed. Of course, while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle and taking supplements if needed.
