Unfortunately transvaginal estradiol does nothing for bone health, just met with my gynecologist. She will prescribe HRT if I demand it but is against it as 25% of her patients over 60 have had significant side effects like stroke, heart issues and one had something to do with the eyes. My Endo knows nothing about HRT for bone health and cannot prescribe it.
@mlwh
It is great to read about someone who has been able to use exercise and other natural approaches to deal with bone loss. Keep us posted.
Just want to say that Lani Simpson's book is more than 10 years old and quite dated, since both Tymlos and Evenity did not exist in 2014. I attended a master class with Dr. Simpson and she was about to go on Tymlos herself, and there was discussion of following Tymlos with Evenity.
For those with osteopenia or mild osteoporosis, there may be hope to manage bone loss. But for those of us with DEXA's below, say, -3.0, it is probably wise to consider meds. My personal experience of fractures has been painful and life-altering.
