You might consider and research other options

At the age of 60 you are still capable of beginning bioidentical hormone treatment. At least consider cking your hormones to see if you have what you need to build bone and if not what you need to supplement with to build bone. ZRT has a saliva test that you may order yourself for an analysis. If you prefer you may contact pharmacy compounders in your area for a list of doctors who compound hormones, they will be able to order the hormone tests which you need.

I have had great results with bioidentical hormones and with strontium citrate. I think that it is a very conservative approach to try the bioidentical hormones first, then strontium if needed before you begin any big Pharma medications.

My numbers began at:
2004 Femoral Neck -2.8

In 2019 my numbers were:
2019 Femoral Neck -.6

no side effects, no fractures

Hi Kathleen, other than thyroid, what other bioidentical hormones are there, related to osteoporosis? And, are you saying that although your bone density T-score is worse, that your fractures have stopped?
Thx so much for clarifying. Just making sure I 'm understanding correctly. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower
