What would you do? Medication.

Yes, this is my first medication and, in general, I am nervous about putting chemicals in my body.
My biggest concerns are 1) my ability to tolerate it, 1) effectiveness, and 3) the "after" plan which I can't get my arms around.

That was my hurdle too. It’s been over 10 months since I learned of my big drop in bone density (since my initial decline after menopause 15 years ago) and I’m just now coming to terms with my next steps.

I managed well without medications for years, but now with a -3.1 lumbar spine and -2.7 hip and as a downhill skier (and cross country, backcountry skier), I feel I need to shore-up my bones with an anabolic and lock-in the gains with a bisphosamate now, so I can continue doing my sports with less fear. Hopefully, I won’t need anymore medications for another 10-15 years🤞
