Hello:
Noticed your T scores which are similar to mine.
Have similar concerns on taking meds the rest of my life.
I have avoided so far, taking any, Evenity was
strongly offered to me.
A year ago I had a spinal xray which showed an old fracture -
which I didn't feel.
The past year I watched my diet carefully: dairy/protein
nothing special - (I am still trying to decide about collagen
and possibly creatine)
Exercize if you can - start from where you are -
and build up slowly and safely..
With weights/resistance bands and diet
my T scores improved
5.6% in spine and 6.4% in hips
that was the rheumatologist's reading of the recent
Dexa.
Have you had a TBS. It's difficult for some to get
this, depending on where you live.
Please read all the literature about Prolia before
deciding.

Thank you for your comment and for your support. I live in a major city but still can't find a place to get a TBS, very frustrating indeed. I recently started working a friend who is a personal trainer, he is giving me pointers on how to used the bands and very light weights, it has been helpful. I've also been focusing on my diet more, especially adding more protein.
I'm trying to avoid Prolia as long as I can. I've been looking into Reclast as an option.
