@tiny28 I am 73, have terrible scores and have not been able to tolerate any suggested meds. My last efforts was with Forteo, which is a biologic that doesnt stay in your system long. I had a severe reaction that took over 30 days to get under control.
I started taking Fortibone, a collagen peptide about a year and a half ago, no longer feel that frail, I am going to break at any minute feeling and my last dexi improved.
I had a hormone panel blood draw today and have an appointment with a gyn next week to discuss HRT, most specifically testosterone, as research has shown that it is a big player in bone growth.
There are a few companies that carry collagen with fortibone in it. Sparkle Wellness, AlgaeCal and Kevin Ellis, the bone coach. Kevin provides a lot of helpful information. Of course, he wants paid clients but he does a lot of good informational podcasts and such. Bonecoach.com. Also, make sure your diet is calcium rich and you do weight bearing exercises. I hope some of this information is helpful.

Hello psanchez. Yes my scores are also very low as is my BMI. I have just ordered the fortibone from Bone Balance here in UK. Struggling with the BHRT but keeping it very low . It does alter blood glucose levels and blood pressure so be careful with it at first . I have always been very fit and exercised throughout my life up until for years ago when my SI joint decided to give me terrible nerve pain which I have to live with . This now prohibits me from weight bearing which is a shame . I can still go walking and have a few small weights in my house which I can use . I am constantly scared of my bones fracturing but like yourself am extremely sensitive to any kind of meds. I now take calcium and D and eat healthily but dairy food seems to give me over production of mucous .Its a constant battle !! Anyway , I wish you luck and let us all know how you get on.
