@toni7 Tymlos and Forteo build bone but do not significantly affect resorption. You can google them for a complete explanation of how they work. They work through the parathyroid pathway.

A score of -2.5 is right on the line. It is a personal decision but I would not medicate yet,myself. Look at Lani Simpson MD's Facebook group or pick up a copy pf Keith McCormick's book "Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis."

I ordered the book, "Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and will be picking it up today from the bookstore. I can't wait to read it and thank you for recommending it to me. My score of -2.5 is for the hip ... that's not the worst. My concern is the spine ... which reads, -2.8 to -3.5. Neck is --3.2
Do you think it's serious enough to start taking medication or should I continue with exercise, vitamins and diet?
I appreciate your help,
Toni
