Thank you so much. Great news .Start the gym tomorrow. Scared. Due for a dexi but want to wait till the spring. Maybe it’s a good idea maybe not. Forteo is rec by dr. I take magnesium glycinate. Can’t take calcium supplements but eat the foods instead. I was always told mk7 not mk4? Hmm have you had any side effects- weight gain Hair loss too ? Do you know anything about Fortibone? At risk for MRONJ so I’m limited. What to do after the 2 years don’t know. I’m 70. How about you?Help

@ipg I hear you! This path is complicated :-0 About the Vitamin K MK4... I was watching videos from Dr. Doug (https://www.youtube.com/watch) and he discussed it. I read some other takes on it and decided to try it. I get it from Life Extension.
As to other side effects, I don't think I'm seeing hair loss and the weight gain is a different subject. I eat more when stressed and the past month has been full of it...so I've been supplementing with chocolate and popcorn and toast LOL so I'm up a few pounds but I can't blame the Forteo at this point. If I eat healthy, I'm pretty sure it will come down again....hopefully soon!
I'm taking a collagen from Healthy Bones that has the Fortibone in it. I looked into briefly...sorry, can't remember what I learned but it seemed like a good choice so I've continued it.
Following up with something after Forteo will have to be figured out later. My doc is out recovering from a surgery so I'll talk to him in September.
