I met with endocrinologist today. I told her how distressed I was re starting meds that I will have to continue forever. She pointed out just as people with diabetes, high blood pressures , etc need to take meds for the rest of their life. So it is with osteoporosis. We weren’t able to agree on a which to go with so I asked to wait, try diet and strenghtening exercise at gym. She was concerned I would get hurt at gym and diet was not going to help build bone. So the decision was put off for 6 months when I may be more accepting of the situation and leave the decision to a higher power to take care of me.
Thank you for responding.
