Anyone progress from osteoporosis to osteopenia?

Posted by debbik @debbik, Nov 17, 2024

Being new to this site, I’m enjoying all the info out there on your experiences with osteoporosis. Has anyone been diagnosed with osteoporosis and been able to gain bone density to the point of osteopenia, or better. I’m 65, have osteoporosis, and each bone density it gets worse. I’ll admit I need to step up with exercise, and make changes to diet. But would love to hear from anyone who has positive changes and specifically what you did to achieve them. Thank you!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Where do you obtain information about how much a particular doctor is paid and from whom for prescribing which types of drugs?

This is an interesting site that has information about industry payments. It also has the link to the Open Payments Portal, where you can see if your doctor has been receiving payments.

Unfortunately we cannot prescribe for ourselves and need doctors, PA's and nurse practitioners. There are some good ones. It can take time to find them and when I find them, I stay long term.

Hey debbik,
Please feel free to private message me if you want more info. Be forewarned that it does take a lot of commitment & consistency to get the results you want. (Probably helps to be a tad compulsive!). In addition, I think an investment in a low intensity vibration platform worked for me, together with a bountiful supply of supplements, slight dietary changes, and bHRT. But maybe I was just 🍀 lucky!

Hi @thisnthat
I’m new to this site and tried to friend a way to send you a private message but I was not able to. I would be really interested in hearing what you did to have such amazing results - you are definitely an inspiration! Would you mind sending me a private message to let me know? I am ready to be compulsive! lol Thanks so much.

This is very inspirational. Can I ask how old you were when you started the bioindentical hormones? And how many years after the start of menopause? My doctor (so far) says I'm too far past the start of menopause (11 years), and I think I heard Dr. Keith McCormick say that as we get "too old" the estrogen receptors in our body don't respond to HRT anymore so it doesn't help. Thanks.
