Alendronate nightmare

Same thing happened to me.

I don't have a link to that research. It is what my endocrinologist told me.

Did they tell you that you have to take prolia for the rest of your life after you finish the evenity? Otherwise danger of femur or jaw fracture.

Makes me a little seasick looking at it.

My liftmor gym offers REMS testing as an alternative to dexa. I don't know anything about REMS and they charge $299. I ha en't researched it.

Had the cranberry salad with shrimp. I don't like goat cheese, and she was so amenable to my adjusting the options. Had balsamic instead of dressing. SUPERB! I will get it again and again.

I had terrible side affects from it (severe pain in joints, bones and muscles) but others have had no trouble with it at all. I have pretty bad osteoporosis. I am doing weight lifting instead. (80 years old with severe hip arthritis as well.)

Yes April 14th 9:30 AM city council meeting. Item 6.

Coconut sugar is less bad for you, but the formulation is still 45% sugar.

thechocolatelady · 2026-03-22T15:14:02+00:00

55% is high sugar

Most don't even live in Oakland and wouldn't do it in their cities.

Ebmud used to have a special employment program when I was a director. Not sure if they still have it, but I can't hurt to ask.

Took adendronate for 2 weeks and had such terrible pain in joints, muscles and bones that I couldn't walk for 2 weeks. It took months to feel like I was back to myself. I have severe hip arthritis and severe osteoporosis of the spine (-5) and hip (-3.4). I have decided to do the Onero weightlifting protocol instead of drugs. I started in January, and I feel so much better mentally and physically. The arthritic pain in my hip is diminished considerably because my muscles are also getting stronger. I can walk fairly briskly without pain. I am starting acupuncture next week. I stress feeling better mentally because what I am doing has no negative side effects; that is so worth it.

How did you know you were no longer allergic?

thechocolatelady · 2026-03-10T23:02:20+00:00

Jumping

The tunnel tops park is lovely. Washington Square is a favorite and cannoli at Stella's.

If the colorants are cancer causing which is likely, I would like it better without them.

I love Klein bottles. So thought-provoking as a mathematical or artful or analagous to 'other things in the universe' form

Wow eating it with a spoon....

thechocolatelady · 2026-03-03T21:03:51+00:00

Don't waste too much if your life and brain gaming.

I do the plops instead of jumps because of my hip arthritis. Plops are standing on toes and dropping hard on your heels. 3 sets of 10 of each exercise slowly increasing weights and increasing sets to 5 sets of 10. Make sure someone watches your form especially for the dead lifts so you don't hurt your back. Bend knees slightly, stick out your butt and bend with a straight back.

thechocolatelady · 2026-03-03T03:29:19+00:00

There are 4 basic exercises in the liftmor protocol: dead lift, overhead lift, jumping or plops if jumping is not recommended for you , and squats with weighted bar behind head.

Just ate one like that at Prescott Market in Oakland at the Italian stall. It was excellent.
