@hansens I like your thinking! I'd go on HRT given if given half a chance! I was on Raloxifene for decades but switched to Reclast when my spine dropped into osteoporosis territory. By the way, I've decided not to continue Reclast because of side effects.

@tillymack When you look at all the side effects of any osteoporosis drug it is overwhelming and scary. You think why would anyone take this drug…. My logic during this journey has always been to select a drug closest to what my body produces. Teriparatide a synthetic form of natural human hormone, Raloxifene an estrogen receptor, and now HRT.
I know this doesn’t work for everyone. This is just how I think and my need to have a framework.
I’m also taking collagen every day and anxious to see who this helps my bone density. It has Fortibone (bone), Verisol (skin, hair and nails), and Fortigel (regeneration of joint cartilage) by Gelita. Their clinical studies have great results. My nails are stronger and my hair is thicker.
