Not simple at all and meds may still be in the future for me but I owe it to myself to give my routine a chance for the next year or two. In 2018, I was given a prescription for a statin due to my high cholesterol. I thought about taking the drug like millions do (including my husband and most of my friends) but decided to use myself as a test subject adhering to dietary changes. It worked beautifully. Grant it, treating osteoporosis is far, far more difficult than managing cholesterol but I'm not looking for a miracle here but rather if I can maintain my DEXA numbers or perhaps improve my scores only a smidgen I would happy with that result. The results of my next DEXA results (in 2026) ) will determine what I do next.
