I completely understand your paralysis. It can all be so intimidating. So much research,.other's experiences, doctor's advice, then your own values, fears and ideas about how you'd like to live. About osteoporosis. Can you tell us what your dexa scores are? Were you hoping that hrt/bhrt could tackle your bone loss effectively? Are you considering osteoporosis medication or are you looking at a number of life style adjustments like diet, supplements, type of exercise?

@gravity3 I have a T-score of -2.3 in my spine and T-score of -1.4 in my total hip and -1.2 in my femoral neck. My TBS is bad: 1.191. I would like to do an anabolic to get my TBS up a little (difficult to do). I was just hoping HRT could help with my awful menopause symptoms and at least halt the bone loss. I met with Dr.MCCormick and he suggested waiting a year to get another DEXA before starting an anabolic. He suggested HRT could be helpful if I'm comfortable with the risks. I'm meeting with an endocrinologist next month and I'll get her opinion on my plan. I was happy with my plan until I started hearing about breast cancer survivors and their struggles with osteoporosis. Some actually had to go on some very powerful antiabsorbatives and that really scares me. Most patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw are cancer patients. It's a horrible condition and I don't want it!
