Crankin, you would be a prime example of where the doctor should be talking about drugs for the first option: as a patient you have risk factors and a family history, so your test results would just add to the data. (treating the patient)

As opposed to quite a few women who have no history and low/nil risk factors, and the only data is the test result. (treating the test) These are the women I want to see get set up with exercise programs and nutritional guidance. I really like working with these women, often they've not been very active and have poor kinesthetic awareness. We have fun, I love opening up the world of activity to someone.

Good luck with the Reclast, and stay active!
