Hello!
I feel for you! All the regular doctors don't believe in bio identical hormones. Not fda approved so no $$$. I am so disappointed in the medical community and I have two Drs in my family! I was on bio hormone creams estrodial, progesterone and testosterone since I was 47! I am now 68…no side effects. I started on pellet testosterone and estradiol and prog pill 100mg in Jan. My integrative med Dr assured me he could get me out of osteo in a year. So against my endos advise….she wanted me on forteo and I refused. I once took actonel for a month and fainted twice. I am done unless my bones crumble. I just had an echo lite bone scan which is a new technology… no radiation. I was shocked at the results. No osteo in my spine and hip -2.0! My dexa last Feb showed spine -1.9 and hip -2.9. So who knows?. My son-in-law is a spine surgeon and researched the efficacy of the osteo lite scan and feels it is accurate. This is my story so far. I take ostinol 450 for the last 8 months. Go on their website. Very interesting supplement. My integrative medical doctor is Dr Anthony Bazzan in Villavova. His website is quite interesting. I wish you well. It is such a difficult decision. Keep in touch. I learn so much from lovely people on this site. Nina 😍
