I’m 65 - same boat. I’m going to try increasing dairy and protein (I was a snacker) and cutting out chips, fries etc. I’m thin and fine boned so I will add a weighted vest to my daily 3 mile walks. I’m also working with a personal trainer - weight training - to balance out my cardio. I’m taking supplements and will retest after a year of this. If worse I’ll try tymlos or evenity followed by fosamax to lock in gains. I have the feeling I’m just avoiding the inevitable but going to try this.

Ps this forem attracts a lot of negative comments as most people who are happy with their meds don’t bother commenting. My endo and my DIL who is also an endo don’t see many bad side effects

Thank you!

Is there general consensus that the drugs are pretty much inevitable?

I'll chime in on the positive outcomes side.
Alendronate, forteo, evenity, Prolia .....no noticeable side effects with any. Effective for me and great gains with evenity.
