@redraider Go to a functional medicine doctor if you can afford it. Read about Prolia. Once you start that one you have to stay on another drug or you can have compression fractures. What causes most bone loss is menopause. The generation behind us will not have this problem because now they are putting them on HRT straight away.

@dvargo
I have only myself to blame for not doing HRT over 10 years ago when my OB/Gyn recommended doing so. Even though I have no family history of breast cancer, I was terrified of the risk. And now I am past the window of opportunity.

@dvargo while many go to theirPCP or Endo, some people go to GYN for HRT. BHRT, etc…some do integrative medicine, ideally getting the best from regular medicine and natural approaches… each have benefits and risks—true of anything one does- and the patient needs to carefully weigh the benefit/risk ratio, the short term versus the longer term…ideally, do it with a doctor you trust…..beware of all the online chatter promising immediate cures, selling very expensive meds/services… !
