Question 1

does boniva (ibandronate) work better than miacalcin?

Accepted Answer

Better in what way?: Boniva (ibandronate) is a brand of bisphosphonate used to treat osteoporosis. Miacalcin is a brand of nasal salmon calcitonin also used to treat osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates have stronger outcome studies than calcitonin but also greater risks & side effects eg osteonecrosis of jaw, atypical femur fracture, etc. Which is better for you is best answered by your family doc after discussing your frax score.

Question 7

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

We all are: A 3-word question with no details... well, life is short on Earth, regardless of whether a person lives 3 days, 3000 days, or 30,000 days. It is not length of one's life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. The goal is not to live a long life, but to live a good life. Even if a person makes it all the way to age 82, that's only 30,000 days.

Question 9

i have cold?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Based upon the information you&#x27;ve given, one could conclude
that indeed you have a cold because, why would someone pose the question if they were not experiencing symptoms commonly associated with a cold.  On the other hand, one could argue, &quot;how can you conclude a person has a cold when they haven&#x27;t divulged any of their symptoms!&quot;  so, help us by providing a few details.

Question 10

am i dying ?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: I don't know, john.  Technically, every person who is alive will die someday, yes.  But unless you have been diagnosed with some untreatable illness, then no, you are not actively dying.
If this is something you worry about a lot, mention it to one of your parents, a close adult friend, or a school counselor.  A lot of people have these kinds of worries and you can get help to not worry so much.
