Hi sallysue!
Yep, those were all she was one when I wrote this... She has since weaned off tizanidine and was taking only 1 nortryptaline until last night when she officially weaned off all meds! The Alendronate was a trial run when we suggested bisphosphonates, the doctor suggested we try this for 10 days instead of the infusions, which I wanted. They seemed to help some but at this point she is doing so well that she doesn't need them. If symptoms flare again I'll push for the high dose pamidronate infusion very quickly to hopefully stop it in its tracks. Other than that we're focusing on prevention.
It is important to note too that she is on a pretty heavy anti-inflammatory diet. She went off gluten for a while and is back on now but only a bit. She has green smoothies everyday and avoids processed foods/sugars/red meat.
I'm happy to answer any other questions. I can't speak highly enough of what this GMI program has done for her and I encourage everyone to look into it.
