I can totally relate to your story, @ccduplass. Mine is almost exactly the same, though I wouldn't qualify myself as "athletic" lol! I am active, I do exercise, and I do walk, but nobody would want to choose me for their team!

I would suggest that you get Dr. McCormick's book. I almost cried when I started reading it, wishing it had been available to me four years ago when I started this journey. I would have done A LOT of things differently. My argument is similar to yours - I haven't suffered any fractures (knock on wood), I'm very healthy, and I don't understand why I would take a medication (Evenity) that a) could give me a heart attack or stroke, and b) could cause my long bones to start fracturing. I would prefer to continue with my good health until I have a reason (i.e., a fracture) to start meds. I have to add that I started with oral alendronate about 18 months ago, but only lasted three months before I developed GERD. Now have that to deal with, too. 🙁
