Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I was on Forteo for 2 years. Had 12% increase in Spine and 6% in hip. Now on Reclast with no adverse reaction, and will see how my numbers look in a year. I agree that exercise, diet and supplements are so very important… and is what I did for 25 years to hold off Osteoporosis. But at 65, with extra “help” from menopause, it was time to add that pharmaceutical assistance. Be informed and do what is truly best for yourself and your stage in this process.

How did you do on Forteo? My Endo has recommended Forteo for me - my spine is at -4.3. I am 63 years old. What was your bone density in your spine before you began Forteo?
