Thank you for sharing that uplifting story! I'm 67, work full time and have a full and active life with severe osteoporosis - and like you, will never take the medication. Once I learned that you can never stop taking the medicaiton, or the bone loss comes back with a vengeance, that was enough for me to decline. I chose the Liftmor weigh lifting program and have never looked back.

Where did you get this information? It is so important to have the best substantiated and credible information and research to make the best treatment path for ourselves.

Saying that I hope the Liftmor is exactly what you need on your bone journey.

False information.

"Severe OP" means if you are at best with a -3.0 T-score, which means you have already lost at least
30% of your bone density.
With severe osteoporosis, you have more than twice the fracture rate of someone with osteopenia. As we age, bone density decreases, so you will lose more and more bone density. You are 67 so you have many more years in which your bone density will continue to decrease.

Lifting weights is great but it does not address your entire skeletal system. So many people fracture their feet, wrist, ribs, etc.... So, yes, you may never fracture, just like you may win the lottery.

My doctor said every unmedicated person she has met who then fractures regrets not being on medication.

You are free to live your life however you want. However don't post blatantly false info in a public forum. It confuses people who are genuinely seeking to help themselves.

btw: I wonder whether you have any curiosity at all about why you have such low bone density at a relatively young ago of 67.... there may be an underlying medical condition, in which case weight-lifting is not going to help you much.
