I'm going to ask my infectious disease doctor if it is safe to get a DEXA scan now (I don't have an immune system - so she has me staying home) - I've been doing supplements for a while now and I should be good to test - see if I've made an improvement. I stopped fracturing - so there is that. I will absolutely never take the "bone building" drugs like Prolia or Relcast or Tymlos. Never going to happen. I know too many doctors and scientists who have told me the truth about those drugs. It took years for me to get into this shape - so it will take a while to correct - but I'm on my way. Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone here.

I wish you luck with your supplements, @parrotqueen. I know how opposed you are to osteoporosis drugs but they do help many people. I think everyone really needs to research this themself and decide what is best for them.

I have gone a long time since my last DEXA at this point. I was supposed to start a drug by now but due to circumstances have not. I have been doing calcium and vitamin D but not boron, which is somewhat controversial from what I have read.

If you do not have confidence in your doctor and don't feel you can trust that doctor to try to do what is best for you, then it's time to find another doctor. I believe it's also very helpful to get more than one opinion in anything other than the most basic things.
