STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (255)Comment receiving replies
I refuse to take any of the drugs for osteoporosis . I joined a gym, took supplements and reversed my osteoporosis in a year and a half. My doc said "whatever you are doing, just keep it up."
Thank you Lord!

@ldg001 many of us are not able to pursue a "holistic" approach and need meds to avoid further pain and disability. Especially those who have fractures. We don't know your situation but if your DEXA shows serious bone loss at any point, just know that there are no warning signs or symptoms before fractures. I hope your osteoporosis is mild and that you can continue to hold your current status.
I take supplements, walk and do tai chi but those are like trying to topple a building with a feather, for me! The loss of estrogen is a cause for many of us.
Can you tell me about your gym program, specific exercises you are doing, etc. I am on a similar path and would just like to compare notes. I work out with a trainer-designed program 3 times per week for about 9 months now. Pay attention to nutrition, supplements and so on.
Congratulations on your hard work and good results!
I am very happy that this is working for you! Would also like to know how advanced your osteoporosis is? I have severe osteoporosis with several fractures in ribs and back and was taking forteo injections for 5 months until my coupon for $4 ran out! I can't afford the $4000/month and my husband makes over the limit to receive any financial help for the medication. I have always exercised, ate healthy and took care of my body my whole life. My endocrinologist told me that the cause of my osteoporosis is from the medication for hashimotos. I am also suffering from arthritis and have back pain constantly! Can you specify what supplements you are taking? I currently take medicinal mushrooms, vitamin D with/ K2, calcium (which is problematic for my kidneys), green tea, selenium, & medicinal marijuana.... THC, CBD, CBG for inflamation. Old age is definitely not for sissy's!
What suppliments do you take for your osteoporosis?

@ldg001
Can you share what level of osteoporosis you have? Did you get DEXA scores? Did you have fractures?
For some people like my husband with -3.4 scores and three fractures, exercise is completely off the table for now and meds are the only things that, in his condition, will rebuild bone.
