Thank you for your response…. Agree with all.
Oh yes, I’ve been on D3 for years and my levels are checked routinely. I am always thinking and aware of my movements to stay as safe as possible while lifting, walking, etc.. I do 5 days a week of exercise classes that include balance, resistance weight and core building strength - I’m trying desperately to avoid a fracture, but am also aware that my T score number puts me at high risk for fracture regardless.
For me personally, the struggle is simply accepting these medications that change my body on a cellular level, it’s so unnatural to make a 68 yr old grow bone. I’m afraid and I struggle knowing it might help my osteoporosis, but what does it destroy, change or do otherwise? My Drs remind me the risk stats are “low” but does anyone else worry that medications are sometimes pushed for financial purposes or that information comes out at a later date that disproves what the medical professionals supported prior- ie; if HRT is bad or good, if statins are needed etc…. These thoughts are what causes me to delay the treatment.
