I don't understand why you aren't getting hormonal treatment-? I really hope you can do a bone-builder before an anti-resorptive. Again, if insurance is the issue (they misguidedly require failing another med before bone builders) there are patient assistance programs.

I was advised by a number of doctors (gynecologists, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, and my PCP) that the hormonal treatment won't do any good at this point, that the bone loss is too advanced, and that the hormones might have some side effects (i.e. the risk in my situation would outweigh the benefits)
