Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

Thank you so much, Chris. I so appreciate what you've shared. I hope you're free from suffering too. These decisions are so hard. I'm glad it worked out for you to take the oral meds. I can't take them at all due to serious GERD. I wish there was something available without all of the horrible side effects. And I wish there were more researchers working on better ways to treat this disease.

Hi Naomid. Sorry to hear your story. I have joint probs too. Drs here in NZ don’t seem to help, so interested in all this advice.I notice you have GERDS. I’ve had to stop eating for 2 weeks because of this plus now have GAVE. Wonder where it will all stop!! But I stopped aspirin and had been taking heartburn and reflux tabs for years which weren’t helping anyway. So stopped that as well. Omeprazole can cause GAVE (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia ).
So I took herbal tea with Slippery elm; aloe Vera, ginger and cinnamon every morning first thing. Heart burn has decreased big time. No breads/pastries cakes and biscuits. No gluten or dairy. Lots of filtered water. Good luck!! Be thinking of you. Evie 🤗

I also have GERD and some other GI issues but am discontinuing Prolia after 5 injections (2 1/2 years) due to extreme hair loss. My endocrinologist is on board with Evista which is oral medication. I have not started it yet but will post if any side effects and when I have my next scan.
Best wishes to all, Cindy
