Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

@lashu if your bone density scores are under -3 I hope you will consider Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity. The problem with osteoporosis is that there are no symptoms and we may feel invulnerable! I was doing sword tai chi in classes and feeling powerful when I fractured three vertebrae with a simple movement at home (not doing the tai chi!).

That is pretty much what my endocrinologist warned me. What did you do? The olderdiva in the discussion group lists a number of natural remedies that have worked for her. My doctor thought Evenity would be best. The necrotic jaw concerns me, as does the description of what happens when one stops taking Evenity: it sounds like erosion of bone sets in, So it demands taking one of the other meds (Forteo or Tymlos).
Nevertheless, I am inclined to risk these things if the threat is that great. Not sure what I will do. I have an appointment in late August with the Endocrinologist.
