Evenity worked for me: Why I chose medication for osteoporosis

I reversed Osteoporosis back to Osteopenia on diet and walking alone. Almost all women over 50 have osteopenia according to drs and literature i have read, thats normal. As long as you are walking, doing a little bit of weight bearing exercise and have a great diet with a calcium supplement you probably never will develop osteoporosis and if you do, it can be reversed naturally. The affects of the meds can be extreme.

Can you plz share your numbers showing improvements along with timeline and routine? This is such a great forum to share our outcomes if we share the fact’s alongside.
I’m afraid that my decades of walking, weight lifting, diet monitoring, and calcium ingesting did not save me from osteoporosis.
Once diagnosed, intensifying all those things did nothing to reverse my osteoporosis.
Drugs did. I was very fortunate that I tolerated the drugs well.

@pitac For most of us who eat well, exercise and take supplements, loss of bone density due to loss of estrogen at menopause does tend to eventually require meds. It is wonderful that you are having success with your regimen,
I think it is good for all of us, me included, to stay away from definite statements since our situations vary so much. For me, meds saved me after several fractures- despite years of good diet, walking, tai chi and supplements. For others, a holistic approach might still work - as it did for you- if bone loss is still relatively mild. I would add that for many of us, the meds' side effects are very tolerable, but some have serious issues- and tend to post the most often on forums! Again everyone is different!
