@gently when we read McCormick's personal story, which included severe osteoporosis in his 40's and 22 fractures, it is encouraging to see that Forteo and a short course of alendronate left him able to pursue more natural approaches, and he has stayed stable. However I do wonder how that relates to those of us who have gone through menopause, which he does not experience. Is there a male equivalent for hormonal change affecting bones?
