plav, you've come to the right place. Options that's our main topic.
Medication help some patients dramatically. They have hurt some dramatically as well. For example I have had significant results with Forteo, another commentator. windyshores, had adverse events with Forteo, but success with Tymlos.
It you throw your numbers in or tell us what you are being encouraged to take, we'll tell you things even your reticent medical providers don't know.
The truth for your body will be a little different from our truths.
Welcome. it's pretty interesting.

I am 58, and had a sacral fracture last year (not from a fall); I found out after that I have osteoporosis. Most recent DEXA scan showed lumbar spine T score -4.1 and Z score -3.1. Recommendation from endocrinologist is Romosozumab(Evenity) for a year, then Reclast infusions after that. I am struggling to find any peace at all from researching these medications, and have not found a single doctor willing to discuss anything other than "standard treatment" because they say that's just what is done. I am researching like crazy to find information and options available to me. I have started physical therapy to gain strength, changed my diet, and have started taking active B12 with L-5-MTHF, D3 with K2, Berberine, Magnesium, and collagen. I have had a full-time desk job for 40 years; I am going part time so I'm not sitting so much also.
