Thank you very much for your reply! I'm having dexa scan every year as well but panicking on starting medications... I am thinking about starting Forteo, I have the appt with endocrinologist in July. I really appreciate your reply as I needed to talk about it with someone who has osteoporosis as I"m having anxiety about this diagnosis for 3 years already

Your endocrinologist will suggest something specific to your bone density results and what you have already tried. I thought HRT was more maintenance and prevention, but not an actual bone builder? I was diagnosed at age 50, and I am 67 now. Sounds like you actually have done well till now! Best of luck to you : )

Hello, Yes it is very frightening and I have also spent a very long time researching the drugs which is why, rightly or wrongly at my age, to start BHRT to try and prevent further bone loss and hopefully strengthen my bones. I am only at the first stage of the BHRT so won't take a REMS test for at least 6 months.
