I don't feel well; haven't for what feels like a long time. Not sick, just not well. It's probably SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Or synthroid too high. Or both. Or not sleeping (SAD and wrong dose of synthroid each can do that too).
Anyway, I hope this comes out better than it feels like it is....
I'm convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the osteoporosis drugs make bone health worse. They can make the results of the bone density tests look better but bone density tests measure one specific narrow thing.
They can't tell if the bone is denser because of more healthy bone cells or because of more brittle dead cells. Worse, forcing the body to keep more brittle dead cells starts a cascade of bad effects such as preventing the stimulation new, healthy bone cells.
It is kind of like putting a cast on a broken leg prevents people from removing dead skin cells from their leg. This skin ends up thicker but less functional so it is not a good treatment for the thinning skin that happens as people age.
