Same here.
I am following posts about all the osteoporosis medications.
I am your age, I too live alone, bc I recently lost my husband. Pray every day that I won’t fall .

But- Im afraid the effects of the medication will “rock my boat” as you say.
I already struggle with lack of energy, achy muscles, depression, lack of desire to participate in daily activities; I can’t imagine how much worse it could be if I get those side effects from the medications.
I’m afraid medication will be more negative than positive for me.
Very difficult decision of which one, if any , could be best for me.
