I am in the exact same position, avoiding medicines at all cost. My endocrinologist is not happy about that as she does not believe in any alternative medicine. I told her if my bones start to really decrease then I will consider meds. I have been holding at worst -2.2 after hormone replacement treatment, My forearm is -4 which it has been for the past 20 years. I don’t even know if most doctors measure the forearm, My doctor is going off of that one score. I pray every day that I remain steadfast in my numbers and they continue to at least stay the same if not improve. As I have mentioned before on this site, my doctor wanted me to go on Prolia 15 years ago!!!! I can’t imagine where I would be today if I did that. My numbers are better now than they were then as far as the DEXA, but I did supplements and exercise, etc., and the HRT.
