Rhonda,

Curious to know what you and your medical team are doing to strengthen your bones other than the rods. This is a very interesting thread as the worry of my bones becoming actually weaker stopped my use of Clondronate, a bisphosphonate. I think you will get responses to your survey as there are many here who have been on one form of bisphosphonate or another for many years of continual use.
