Collagen for osteoporosis?

Should be National Science Foundation? Not Sanitation

I wouldn't take Forteo because I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism. I hope it helps you.

@patmacastclk, I'm wondering why you wouldn't take Forteo with Synthroid. I am taking Forteo with Tirosint which is a brand name for Levothyroxine like Synthroid.

Morning Lynn...I like that more info and interest is being directed towards emelorating our bone conditions..instead of having that sinking "oh well" feelings about what we, as patients , we can do for ourselves that not only improves our bone density, but gives us back our power to seek out reasons why we've lost so much bone.
I'm on the search for this reason myself. There has to be a point where something went wrong in my body to cause this amount of bone loss. I'm going to be seeing an Endocrinologist and get as many tests done to try and find the impetus....otherwise I'm just adding to a bucket with a hole in it...leaking out all the bone nutrients that could be going to my bone health.
MD's seem all too happy to write a script for whatever ails us...while not really seeing 'us' as an important component in regaining our bone health and overall health as well....it really is up to us!
I'm not anti-drug...just a seeker of knowledge..wherever that will lead me.
If using a trampoline helps and the data seem reasonable..then do it! If changing one's diet to a more mediterranean one would help..then change! Add in more colors...organic...it doesn't cost more when one eats this way...my costs have gone down now that I eat what I buy and buy small amounts at a time to make sure it's as fresh as I can get. Probiotics are easy to find and enjoy these days..very good for our 'gut'...grass fed dairy....come on folks...I challenge you all reading these to do something different each day for 'you'...get into the solution and out of the worry that's keeping you back from enjoying your lives. I'm here...let's do this! Hugs.....

so in agreement but totally depressed because despite Algaecal (just for half my daily requirements) walking w weighted vest standing to use laptop during day wt lifting (but not huge amounts per the LIFTMOR test from Austrailia) and lots of dairy my scores got a little worse past 2 .5 years femoral from 2.7 to 2.9 and total hip 2.2 or 2.4 or maybe that's the spine - anyway Dr said they're all 4-6 % worse and is really pushing the Evenity she wanted me on since 2020. It scares me I don't have perfect teeth for one thing. I read this past year about an operation Local Osteo Enhancement Procedure . I'd rather do this than take drugs Curious if anyone knows anything about it.

Hello and thank you for your reply and questions.

I looked up Local Enhancement and it looks really interesting! This procedure looks like it could be used in many areas of bone loss to be able to get a jump start on growing more 'good' bone.

This is the first time I've heard of this..so I'll be looking more into it to see if there is anyone in my area that's dealing with this and offering it as a treatment. I don't know if Medicare would cover the procedure either..so more to learn here.

I agree with you..that dealing with a more holistic approach..rather then a medication that could have other contraindications for our particular physical bodies to deal with. This doesn't look like it has some of those concerns.

I wish you the very best and please keep us all updated on how you are doing..and what you did decide to do.

My very best to you...Bunky
