@oopsiedaisy Thank you for your reply! Yes, my endocrinologist also explained to me that these medications can only offer a slight risk reduction at best. She also told me that once the trabecular bone is degraded there's really no going back-those connections are gone forever. Anabolics can thicken the remaining trabeculae but they can't reconnect any broken struts-my bones will always be weak. I felt as if she was telling me my situation was pretty hopeless so I felt pretty depressed coming out of there. Of course, I'm going to do all I can to try and live as best I can without breaking any bones, but damn....I felt so discouraged.
