I reversed osteoporosis without drugs
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Aug 26 8:42am | Replies (357)Comment receiving replies
I went to see an endocrinologist this week.
I brought him my history, supplements, collagen peptide with Fortibone, amongst other things.
He basically said nothing is going to build bone density! Doing what I’m doing might help slow down bone loss, but he said taking medications is the answer.
I plan on sticking with my routine until January 2025 and then see if there are any improvements before considering to start meds.

@meri8181 based on my experience, reading, and doctors' advice, I believe that bone density loss is inevitable after menopause. Humans live a lot longer than originally planned!!
Many of us on this forum cannot rely on maintenance or even small improvements, since our bones have lost a lot of density, or because we have fractured.
I almost feel like we need two forums: osteoporosis DEXA scans above -3.0 with no fractures and below -3.0 and/or fractures. Maybe this thread is exactly that !
If your bone density loss is mild, I hope you can keep doing what you are doing and do well. If things get worse, just know there are ways to make medications work for you in a tolerable way, in many or even most cases.
