hello @nannygoat5 ; reading your note it resonates with me. I am shocked as well, being very active, 53 and diagnosed with severe osteoporosis back in November. Honestly I am terrified of this diagnostic , but what I can do?! I refuse to take medication being so scared of all the side effects I have seen, hence doing more weights , 3 times /week and gave up running , while eating proteins and adjusting vitamins as good as I can. I think menopause have caused it for me (I am not on HRT) , plus lack of vitamin D which I neglected it probably for a few years. I am extremely sad and its comforting in a way to read similar stories , assuming I can learn from others too.
