Hello,I’m 70 now and have just had my Dexa scan done resulting in -2.5,I’m reluctant to take the meds for oesteoporosis which the diagnosis showed that I have in the spine and oesteopenia in left hip and neck
I have been off HRT for six years now ,was strongly advised by the doctor to stop taking it for risk of stroke,I’m so sorry that I had taken that advice as everything declined after that.Im going to see an endocrinologist to see if I could go back on hormone therapy for my bone health even though I’m 70 .
I’ve just had a calcium score done and it is 0 which shows no plaque in my arteries,so here’s hoping .

@tesslu2

I might do some research on what we know now about starting hrt later in life. I started at 77 . Menopause at 38. It is very individual but I know I will never stop taking hormones
Take a look at some of the YouTube videos by Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith and Dr. Mary Claire Havers book The Pause Life.

@tesslu2 it makes you wonder why it would cause heart problems or strokes
