       (NEJM) Continue bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis beyond 5
        years?

       Osteoporosis often comes along in addition to MS, especially for
       women. Then the question is whether to start bisphosphonate
       therapy. This has been recommended for me a few times, and each
       time I've declined. It still looks like a rather risky type of
       drug to me.
       From the New England Journal of Medicine (April 14,
       2022)--"Continuation of bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis
       beyond 5 years":

       If you can look at the poll results, 64% voted for discontinuing
       bisphosphonate therapy in the case that is described and only
       35% voted for continuing it.
