Has anyone treated their osteoporosis without drugs?

@debbie1956 Are you past 10 years post menopause? Have you used BHRT before? I’m 15 years post menopause and consulting with a menopause certified Gyno and considering BHRT especially for osteoporosis treatment.

@geranium1 Yes I was 13 or 14 years post menopause when I started BHRT at 67 with no previous history of taking it. A younger woman I corresponded with on Mayo connect who had started it told me she had seen posts on Facebook osteoporosis of women my age taking it, so I posted on that site. At that time there were no discussions yet on Mayo Connect about this topic as there are now, but I found studies supporting initiating it post menopause 10 years plus then found a N.A. Menopause certified physician.

Check under women's health also.
There is....finally...a change in thinking on cutoff dates for beginning bhrt after menopause. I started last year 38 years after menopause.
Bhrt can be a support to bones after menopause but it won't reverse it.
