osteoporosis
"Just finished 2 year treatment.  I was 53 years old when I started and in extremely good health other than these poor old bones!  Spine T-score -4.2 and left hip -3.5 two years ago.  New Dexa as of last week shows 20% improvement in the spine and 13% improvement in the hip.  It doesn't sound like much but when bones are this bad, anything is an improvement!  So for all the aches and pains (some pretty significant) that I have endured over the past two years, I feel it was worth it.  Definitely no doubt that this drug caused pain, weakness, some upper respiratory issues....but nothing that I couldn't deal with and nothing that caused me any "down time".  Maybe for someone else these side effects are too much.  But for me, worth it!!!"
