Study suggests hormone therapy may help protect bone health in women

No. It is using bioidentical hormones of estradiol testosterone, and a bioidentical pill of progesterone to balance your system. You have to see an integrative medicine specialist for this extensive blood work has to be done. A lot of women are finally getting help. You can search integrative medicine in your area and I’m sure you will find a practitioner. You can go get an opinion and see how you feel about it. Good luck.

Ithere is so much controversy about bioidentical hormones but in my experience, I have had nothing but positive results if anyone does think of going on on these hormones, please find a good integrative medicine specialist. am also on bioidentical hormones and feel great so far. I have posted my journey before. I started on the creams more than 20 years ago and now have switched to pellet therapy. I can not wait for my dexa this Feb. It will be a year on the pellet. I can't believe my energy level and anxiety etc have improved dramatically.

Gosh, I was really interested to see how your deck turns out. If you could let us know. I did the echo light scan and I didn’t have a so I don’t know. I was really shocked..

@nme1985 I had my Dexa with a overall 17% increase. My nurse practitioner/"bone specialist" was shocked, told me had he bet on me, he would have lost. My hormone specialist does not want me to use the Tymlos that is recommended by the "bone specialist". She says they have had an 80 yo with osteoporosis completely reverse it with the BHRT treatment. I am still a -4.3 in my low back, but I was -5.4. my right hip is at the osteopenia range now, but left hip is still a little lower than that. I was happy with the results. I will redo blood work in 3 months for CTX scores. Continuing walking, tai chi, resistance training and other weight bearing exercise, trying to keep my protein intake up and continue my vitamins and supplements. I did ask for a referral for osteoporosis PT/OT to make sure I am doing exercises correctly. The sad thing is, I had a hard time getting him to write the script for it! Still haven't heard back from them to schedule my first appointment. I feel like getting healthy is a full time job!

@nellybones my heart skipped a beat when I read your post. Applause applause I just had my first pallet injection since September because I had a knee replacement. I was using the creams and they just weren’t enough. I have a DEXA scan scheduled for January I have great hope I am not taking the drugs! I know two people who got necrosis of the jaw!!! I am taking my chances, as you I am doing Pilates twice a week and a lot of weight training and walking. Good luck to your friend and thank you so much for letting me know.🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
