@nycmusic Hi - I am 75 and taking BHRT to see if it makes any difference in my bone health.
I gave up mammograms years ago, only using thermography, but I may have to go back to mammograms now. I am not too worried about any side effects, however, as the bioidentical ones are a lot less harmful. I am feeling great and sleeping very well now while on it; not using THC anymore.
To add to this thread, I got no information from my rheumatologist on pharmaceuticals but my functional medical doctor also uses BHRT and is monitoring me. I have several friends who had taken Prolia and say it is fine, but one ended up with a broken back 5 years into treatment.
I think the meds prolong the inevitable along with various side effects, but if my scans get worse, I will try Fosamax. My sister was on and off it for 3 years and is now osteopenia and on nothing.
I am not going to stress over this (femurs both -2.8) and live my life, albeit carefully :-). I agree with the comment on valuing my quality over quantity of life.
