Thanks Ladies for all your thoughts, experiences and thoughtful consideration of this important health issue. I’m a petite, 75 year woman who, like many of you, are attempting to tread the choppy road of refusing meds for my osteoporosis. I’m optimistic after hearing your stories. I’ll get the book, go see an Osteo doc and continue my healthy diet, exercise program. 🙏 This group gives me hope. I’m grateful.

I am also petite, 5 ft 3 inches and 107 lbs. I used to weigh less than 100 lbs before I started breaking bones and became less active. I have tried the natural way for 10 years, and was so against taking the medication. Last year I fell twice, breaking my ankle and hand. This year I fell 3 times, breaking my shoulder, ankle and suffering a concussion. I am now taking 20 mcg of Tymlos, 1/4 a dose. That is all I can tolerate, but my endocrinologist says that any amount will help. My DEXA scan is scheduled for next month. I wonder if anyone can explain what TBS and CTX mean.
