@kathleen1314 Wow, Kathleen! You amaze me.

I was actually JUST talking to my husband about this "really nice woman named Kathleen who is helping me." I told him how altruistic it is of you to help us navigate this unwanted field we find ourselves in, especially given that you've long-since figured it out for yourself how to have healthy bones.

More, I know how long it takes to make coherent posts as you are doing, and I want you to know that I recognize the gift given me—a complete stranger. I'm sure there are dozens more on here that you are helping who aren't as vocal as we are!

Thank you for the correction on strontium citrate.

As you can see, I'm getting my research confused. Likely, because I'm in pain with this fracture and just began PT, which, I'm finding out, is going to make things worse before they get better. Not to mention I'm researching as much as possible, and it's all jumbled up in my mind.

It is for this reason that I joined Lucas' 1:1 program. Until I find all the right providers, I feel like I need a one-stop-shop to help me make sense of everything until I have it down myself like you do. Lucas seems ligit and is focused on reversing osteoporosis by natural means.

For now, given what you said, I'm going to increase the strontium and calcium to the therapeutic dose. *Please don't worry; I'm going to research it again as well*

At this moment, I'm taking all AlgaeCal products: calcium, strontium, collagen, Vitamin D/K/A/M, and have drastically changed my diet to include calcium-rich foods. Weirdly, I've always consumed dark leafy greens and put a premium on eating healthy and exercising, so I'm surprised this happened to me.

I'm so looking forward to learning more about BHRT.

Mostly because of all the women on all these sites who say they're in their 60s, 70s and 80s, and because they began hormone therapy, they now feel as good as they did in their 40s. I've never even thought about hormone therapy, and now I'm obsessed with it! Who doesn't want to feel as strong and flexible as they did in their 40s? Not to mention, the possibility of sleeping through the night again.

Thank you again for you kindness.

@squitirogloria
So glad to have met you Gloria.

I reply because I owe a debt to the people who helped start me on the path which I am on. Many strontium citrate users stop participating on sites once they begin strontium . This is because they no longer consider their disease to be a problem, but there are a few of us that continue. PhoneyBoney is one as is BoneLady who has her own great blog called Strontium for bones. https://strontiumforbones.blogspot.com/

Osteoporosis is a disease frequently of aging. We just can't easily overcome the lack of hormones. We joke on Inspire that all of us "always consumed dark leafy greens and put a premium on eating healthy and exercising, ". Funny, but true.

Yes, I have recently had to up my BHRT hormones and oh how much better I feel. I am 73 years old.
