@babs10 - I wish I had started taking strontium citrate for a period of time and then taken a REMS scan to see what progress I may or may not have made. My HRT doses were increased about a yr ago, so hopefully they would have made a positive impact, too.

I actually did start taking SC for 2 mo before stopping it to take Evenity. I had just started my deep-dive into the medical publications, etc. In that short time the crackling sound (no pain/no restrictions) that my right ankle makes when I climb our stairs quit making that noise!

My friend went on SC instead of Fosamax & her hip pain is gone. I realize that others have more verifiable results, but these are my personal stories. Interestingly, I told a new friend in my osteoporosis exercise class about SC because due to very compromised jaw bones, she can't take any bone drug. She had never heard of it, but ran the idea by her dr last week. The dr had heard of it & recommended she try it for her severe OP! My friend is wondering why the dr did not offer up this option a long time ago.

Hopefully Evenity will give me a head-start from which to supplement w/SC & modify my hormone intake. Thanks for asking & listening!
