My friend, who is a neurologist, was diagnosed with osteoporosis and hesitant to start medication. So when I received my own diagnosis about a year ago, and was told medications are the way to go, I also looked into alternative ways to manage my osteoporosis. I was already exercising with weights. I started the 12 minute yoga for osteoporosis by Fishman, added a third day of weights to my weekly exercises, started regular calcium and vitamin D, joined the Bone Coach program. The bone coach program requires a lot of time, and I don’t have that now since I’m working full-time. I also started Fortibone about a month ago. I’ll have another bone scan in about eight months. I’ll also do the bone coach program after I retire in the middle of 2024. Takes a lot of time to hunt down and understand the pros and cons of the methods of recourse. That’s one reason why I joined this support group.
