To take drugs or not is turning into one of the biggest devisions of my senior years. (I am 77). My mother had six sisters and every one of them developed osteoporosis. They all lost a lot of inches in height, had rounded shoulders, and one had a dowager’s hump. They took no drugs because they didn't exist then, but they all lived past 90 with no bone problems. My endocrinologist had recommended Evenity but said he understands my reluctance to take drugs and seems to be ok with me trying a year of natural approach….brisk walk every day, op exercises, bone collagen, calcium. I will have another bone scan at the end of the year and see what happens. I am relatively small (5 feet tall, 108 pounds) and tend to have negative reactions to drugs so i am hoping the natural approach works for me. We must each decide individually what is best for us.
