@jozer I’m not sure the goal is to go back to having the strong bones of a 30-year-old, so much as the goal is to build back lost bone, then maintain it as best we can.

I wish gynecologists would do a lot more to educate women in their 20’s on up about the importance of bone density and how to maintain it from a young age. None of mine ever did. I’m constantly telling my daughters and my friends.

I can only hope they take me seriously.

I have read stories here about women in their 30’s and 40’s (some in their 20’s too) who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and my heart goes out to them. That’s a long time to deal with this condition.
