I try to get my calcium with food rather than supplements. It is not that hard. Fortunately i am not lactose intolerant. I drink milk or butter milk, fortified orange juice in moderation, and eat various cheeses, yogurt, calcium fortified cereals, boiled eggs, and a host of other foods that also provide a small amount of calcium such as fish. I switch up my calcium sources every day so I am gettimg the nutrients my body needs, and i try to reach as close to 1,000 mg as possible. Once you figure out approx how many mg is contained in each source, it becomes habit. I take vitamin D and magnesium to aid with absorption. I also take Raloxifene. As someone else mentioned exercise and resistance bands are essential for a good outcome. There is no good way to battle osteoporosis without work whether it is research, test monitoring, exercise, or staying on top of drug treatmemts, it takes effort.

@lmayo
I may start Forteo followed by Evista also. How are you feeling? Any worries? Side effects? I am at risk for MRONJ
Thanks and good luck!

@lmayo in addition to these suggestions, walking is also a good weight -bearing exercise to strengthen bone. My endocrinologist recommended daily walking.
