@mayblin, Thank you! It seems I can't get enough information and you all are wonderful.
I wonder if me now being totally off prednisone, not drinking sodas or taking supplements that I now read increase osteoclast activity and forcing myself to eat much more protein might make a difference in the result??? Along with exercise and weights of course. Best - Gracie

@gracie7 I think your doctors will most likely base treatment decisions on DXA results, with FRAX also playing a role.
Glucocorticoids affect bone in a unique way, and coming off prednisone is probably the most important “stop-loss” step you can take right now. Lifestyle measures provide an essential foundation for bone health, but they’re unlikely to fully reverse the effects of prednisone. Wish you the best on this journey.
