Exactly! If you go looking for trouble you find it. Everything seems to be about getting you on to drugs.

It's one of the arguments I've has with doctors. My sister is much older than me and since she smokes, her frax score would probably be worse than mine. Yet she's not worried because shes never had a Dexa scan and so has never received all the "medical drug pressure" that goes with it

I lived with my grandmother. She lived until 94. No broken bones. She did shrink quite a few inches though and bad arthritis. Was able to walk until 2 weeks before she died. No bone density test or any other such as mammogram etc, my grandfather lived until 87. My parents both died before they were 40. My grandmother always said they died from too much doctoring.
