Yes gravity 3 that’s very true. I am in quite a dilemma at 74 yrs old , having been very active and fit all my life, dancing, gym, aerobics and swimming. Last four years suffering chronic pain from my SI joints which don’t respond to treatments and cannot be operated on due to the osteoporosis. My life has changed to that of a woman much older yet I still look and feel young! I am terrified of the drugs offered for osteoporosis as I am quite delicate and react to side effects more than most people. I started Bhrt a week ago and already having bad side effects so am going slowly on the dosage . If this won’t work I will be lost. Desperately trying to help myself as I always do. I can’t even excercise except to walk as it just flares up my pelvic problem then I can’t sleep win the pain.

It’s hard to treat musculoskeletal issues especially bones.

So sorry to hear you are experiencing side effects already from HRT. Like me you were hoping this was the answer.
As I previously posted I started HRT back on March 3rd. During the last 2 weeks I have had 2 episodes of dizziness and heart palpitations that had me close to fainting. This happened again yesterday, I immediately went to see my PCP, thankfully everything checked out. Based on all my symptoms and the order in which they came on, he believes something is tripping my vasovagal system. An example of this would be when people feel faint at the sight of blood.
I don’t have that issue, but my episode was similar to that. He believes the HRT is what is causing this. I have a call in to the gynecologist that prescribed the HRT. Hopefully he has some thoughts on this and can advise.
What side effects are you experiencing?
