I have not fractured. I have been on a variety of osteoporosis drugs over the course of about 12 years. What are your dexa scores and how long ago? Is your endocrinologist recommending medication? What else are you doing to help your bones? Is the cause of your osteoporosis/osteopenia loss of hormones during and post menopause (as most cases) or is the cause something else? Glad you are here . There is so much great information.

February this year I was diagnosed. Spine is -2.7 and hips -2.0. Yes I’ve been to 2 Endocrinologists and the one I liked has recommended Evenity. My BCBS denied it and Dr office has resubmitted it. I work out 6 days a week with a mix of walking and Dr Lisa Moore videos. Also track my calcium and protein on Cronometer app. My cause is menopause, small boned, hyperthyroidism and genetics. My mom’s hip broke when she was 84 and she passed a couple months after that. She also had other health issues it was just the last straw. Actually I don’t think she was treated for it. Dr said her bones were like Swiss cheese.
I think part of my problem is what happened to my mom and the realization that I’m aging. But keep reminding myself I’d rather be aging than the alternative.
