Didn’t know he was a funny rapid-fire science guy too! Wonderful!

There is a person that keeps touting this “nocebo” effect- Especially as I begin to list the problems I have had since I was given Reclast last year.

Problem is I had not done my homework on bisphosphonates, and so had no prior knowledge of any of the dangers.

I now pay the price for having gotten that single treatment, looking for a miracle cure for my osteoporosis. I know now that there is no such thing! (Save for diet modification, supplementation, and as much exercise as my 27 vertebral fractures will allow me to do).

Fascinating stuff. Thx….
