Thank you for your quick response! I started off almost 20 years ago with the Osteoporosis diagnosis and took Fosomax for 7 years. After this time my bone density scores have slowly gotten worse. My last test was hip -2.5 and spine -3.1. I am a small (5'2" and 108 lbs), white, 63 year old woman. My mother also had Osteoporosis. I have had no fractures at this point. I started extreme autoimmune symptoms in 2014. My inflammation numbers were very high and I could hardly move including breathing. So, it has been a long road! I have eliminated gluten and most dairy and sugar. Of course no processed food. I also try to eat "cleanly". I take supplements such as tumeric, fish oil, D3 with K2, Vit C, Zinc, Magnesium and Biost. Currently I am taking 150 mg of Cosentyx for Ankylosing Spondylitis. Before taking Cosentyx I tried all the other drugs but nothing worked or I was allergic to it. For stress management I journal each morning, walk in nature, dance and enjoy friends and family. I also try to meditate and use a sauna whenever possible. For the Osteoporosis I attend a weight lifting class 3 times per week and use bone broth when possible. I am open to suggestions. I really don't want to take medication for Osteoporosis but my doctors are recommending it strongly. So far I have held off but I am wondering if that is the smartest thing to do??? I appreciate any feedback.
