I Need Some Input, Please!!

Happy Day of Thanks and Gratitude, List!

Here's my question to you all -

Apparently my recent bone-density scan came back less than

exemplary, and there was a message from my primary <sigh> that I

should make an appointment to come in and discuss WHICH medicine I

should be on, right away!!

<double sigh>

Here's my problem with that - those meds scare the beejesus out of

me, and a person with very well managed fibromyalgia should be leery

(IMO) of taking medications known for side effects including muscle

stiffness, aches, etc.

PLUS the fact that I only recently learned (here!) about HOW to take

calcium and magnesium for optimum absorption in the body, so I

tweaked the way I was taking it. But that's only been a couple

weeks or so.

Anyone have any opinions of the osteoporosis meds? Or any other

things I can/should be doing to avoid the whole mess altogether??

Thanks, y'all, and have a GRAND day!!
