You mentioned estrogen. Hormone therapy is one way to build bone and it can be used in conjunction with regular bone meds. I just wanted to caution you to check with doctor (perhaps even a consultation with a cardiologist) before taking. If you have any risk factors for cardiovascular disease, estrogen should be used with caution. If you have none, could consider a cardiac CT or a endothelial Caronary ultrasound as screening test.

Thank you Laura1970. In conjunction with my Dexa scan, I had a CT calcium score test down (2nd one I have requested in 2 yrs) due to having elevated cholesterol and Dr wanted me on Statin but both my Calcium scores "0". Dr feels it is familial cholesterol since both parents had it.
I have read somethings about HT and estrogen, in addition to not having estrogen can cause memory/brain issues (which I have had some testing and do have some concerns for early AD. Just taking one thing at a time and figuring out what is best and most least meds, with least further damaging.
