I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed in December 2006. In Feb. 2007 I fell and broke my right wrist, my left elbow and a rib. I had a bone density test. I just went back to work but I’m still in pain. I’m taking Thalidamide and Decadron and my numbers have gone down which is good. I’m also in the rarer 20% with the high IgA. I’m very worried about Necrosis of the jaw if I get the IV injections for the bones once a month as my DR has advised.
