@debbie1956 Sounds like good news for you. I too have just started BHRT at 68. A chiropractor suggested it to me a few years ago, but I declined. After my second DEXA got worse with a lot of supplementation and exercise, I went the BHRT route. The MD that prescribed it for me specializes in hormones and also does surgical procedures such as face lifts,tummy tucks etc. She also switched my thyroid medicine from Synthroid (25 years) to NP Thyroid. After 2 weeks on the BHRT and NP, I can say I feel wonderful. Great sleep and less agitated at the world. Maybe placebo, but I'll take it after feeling like a tightly wound clock since I started the synthroid at 52! My Dr did a CBC and CMP, plus asked about family history.(no cancer history in my family) The only med I took was the Synthroid. I was very hesitant to switch to the NP, but I feel a big difference and am sleeping better. Exercise and good diet are still imperative. I never was a smoker, which is really bad for bone density. Alcohol is also detrimental. Good luck to us all on the bone journey.
