@heyjoe415 your post was helpful since the words sound the same and are easy to confuse (not you, I realize you just misread). There are many medications that will help osteoporosis. If severe our doctors tend to prescribe Forteo or Tymlos (work through the parathyroids) or, increasingly, Evenity (inhibits sclerostin). Of course exercise, diet and supplements support that treatment.

@joelaurie1 I hope you have an endocrinologist who can prescribe for you!

Windy, i do, and he has been a lifesaver.
Currently on Evenity ( 7th shot), and will have a C. T scan on November 22nd to check if my bone density has improved..
