@gussie I am sorry to hear about your daughters. I too have 2 daughters and I have forwarned them about osteoporosis. They are in their late 20s so they are still building bone and have talked to them about calcium, weightlifting, and making sure they have all the necessary minerals to build bone. I wasn’t diagnosed until I turned 63 through a DExA, so I have also told them to start getting tested before (around age 50), during and after menopause.
Incidentally, my grandmother must have had OP. She fractured her wrist in her 80s and she lived until she was 95. My mother tripped and fell last year; she was 90 and she had a total hip replacement. She is very active and still drives. She did tell me recently that she was diagnosed with osteopenia in the 1990s and she decided NOT to go on meds. That is over 25 years ago!

I hope that even though the disease itself is hereditary, I can also learn from my grandmother and mother that they did fine WITHOUT medication and perhaps their bone QUALITY has been handed down to me as well. They both ate very well and were always very active too.

So did you end up taking any meds? How are your tscores now?
