Me to take the drugs( I’m changing doctors on that one) and my endocrinologist said if you don’t take the drugs at least take Tums(not going back to him either). I’m working with my FMD on my diet and supplements. And I research extensively to make sure I’m
Doing everything possible besides drugs to improve my scores.

Thanks for sharing your doctors response to using osteoporosis drugs- it feels somewhat validating that not every doctor immediately supports their use. I keep reading and reading to try to get a game plan. Have you read “no nonsense bone heath guide “ by Dr. Lani Simpson ? It’s at most libraries
Can I ask what your scores are ?
That’s great to try the natural route but it all depends on your T scores .

May I ask how old you are? I am interested because age, where one is in the hormone journey teaches me so much about the osteoporosis journey. Thanks in advance. I am 75 and became menopausal....bam..like that! No symptoms ever.
