@lioness From what I have been told by a number of people, when osteopenia is diagnosed, DEXA scans should be done at least every two years and then when it reaches a certain point drugs are prescribed. That was not done at all. My PCP definitely dropped the ball and I think I am done with him. How can I feel confident in him anymore?

I realize that these drugs all have some very real negatives but so does fracturing a bone. I am trying to make an appointment with an MGH rheumatologist for this. As I said in a different conversation about Prolia, you and your doctor have to decide which is the bigger risk, not being on medication, or being on one and suffering side-effects. I want to get the possible doctor I can get so that we can decide what is best for me.

Bone broth sounds like a good idea too, maybe I will start buying it and drinking some each day. How much of it do you drink in a day? Does bone broth taste OK, like regular broth?
