i tell myself this as i try cope with what has happened and is happening. it could be closer to 90%, but i tell myself 75% just to prevent being in complete heartbreak and despair.

seems like each day brings a new snippet of something to give me anguish, something that i have to find a way to cope with. hoped to look after my parents in their old age, expected it would be about dealing with average health issues of the elderly. nope. osteoporosis drugs and their couriers are destroying lives, including my Mum's, and our family.

it has sent me on a search for answers between heaven and hell.

some questions i have asked here, and lovely people have helped answer kindly. thank you, it helps mitigate anguish and shock.

it's difficult for me to speak specifically, and in part i'm just venting,

the situation that sufferers here and their families are in are unbelievable.

i would like to be more positive, i do look for things to be grateful for; it could be said that everything is great except for my loved one's health and complex situation.

i have never come across anything like this in my life. the most difficult situations i've been in have been a defacto divorce, and 15 years of chronic exhaustion illness in bed most of the time for 10 of those years. i did have a broken leg when i was 20 and at the time it was very sad, and now nothing zero zip compared to life situation now.

Really feel for you. My Mum had osteoporosis due to having a hysterectomy and only 6 month's hormone replacement. In those days drugs weren't even available. She had spontaneous fractures which hospitalised her. It's a mine field finding out which are the best drugs. But keep posting there may be people that have had success with a particular drug. I don't really know enough about them. You are allowed to vent here. There is support on this site x
