Thank you so much Susan for that dose of reality. I have another Dexa scan in January. I’m pretty certain I will be in the osteoporosis range since I was so close 2 years ago. When discussing treatment options with my Dr. I found myself skeptical and worried about side effects from medication. I’m almost 69 - and active. If medication is indicated and recommended I know I will struggle - but I will remember your generous plea to take it seriously and I’ll do what is recommended. Thank you.

I am also struggling with the idea of taking medication.
I have osteoporosis and I am 74 years old.
I have already had several fractures, due to lifting a heavy object.
From what I’ve been reading, and listening to others, the side effects of taking these medications is just as serious as osteoporosis, scary.
