thank you @nme1985! I saw the hormone Dr. yesterday and he did not want to deal with the bioidenticals - out of hand. Its not quite his specialty. He felt because I've been off them for 10 years I shouldn't go back on. Plus there is a cancer concern (mom died from extra ovarian cancer) but that is why I did the topical for 10 years (estradiol, testosterone, progesterone); I mentioned that someone else here mentioned their bone density went up 11 points from the bioidenticals alone. It makes TOTAL sense to me - you have hormones you build bones. No hormones everything deteriorates (aging process.)
I'm still getting a handle on the Tymlos. I have had both natural remedies and synthetics on different things - I try to learn as much as possible and be judicious.
Thanks for sharing your experience!!!

Me too. It's hard to make sense of it all and make the best decision for
me. I'm having bloodwork done on Tuesday with a follow up doctor
appointment after that. Thank you for your insights.

Doctors ignorance re bio-identicals is no reason to forego them. Do your own research. I was on them for years and loved what they did for my body as well as my disposition teaching adolescents. I am presently reading studies that indicate one is never too old for bio-identicals after being told differently and going off them. I am presently 74 and have osteoporosis and may not have the markers I have now if I'd continue.

I'm making an appointment this week to see about starting again.

My friend was on Fosamax for years and was informed by her dentist that her jaw was too deteriorated to have a tooth implant. And another friend ended up in the hospital for serious kidney issues after taking Prolia injection.... again, for years.
