I’m 56 years old, I paid for a DEXA, spine -3.7, hips -2.8. No fractures or pain, just had a feeling something was amiss.
I’m through menopause, but I have now started bio identical hormone therapy to help build bone for the next five years. Estradiol and progesterone. I’ve always exercised and had a healthy diet. I’ve started weight training more seriously, tweaked my diet and supplements. I panicked when I first got the diagnosis in November and had a Reclast infusion. That was fine, no side effects. I plan to have a REMS scan to find out if my bones are considered strong or not.
There is SO much to learn, it takes a while to find your path but you will. I like Dr. Doug Lucas (YouTube) and my naturopath doctor at home.
Stay strong! 🙂 💪
