What Treatments Are Any Of You Taking And Are You Happy With The Results?
So far I've been taking various OTC supplements only - none of the many prescription treatments. My T score has moved from -5.0 in 2017 to -4.3 recently. My doctor now thinks I should start some treatment, but I'm hesitant because of the many potential side effects. I'm wondering if anyone here has been taking treatments and happy with them regarding side effects. I would like very much to hear what treatments and what level of success any of you are having that might influence my decision… read more
Thanks you Denise - I agree with you and actually I follow a similar routine, I just didn't mention everything in my original comments. May I ask your age and also what your T scores were originally and what they are now plus how long it took to get over your severe osteoporosis? I'm inclined to continue my existing routine and not take any of the treatments recommended by my doctor for concern over the possible side effects.
Thank you for your answer, I would love to find a natural way to help my bones but don't know where to start. Is an Natropath a way to go?
Besides calcium with Vitamins D, K2 and others (including strontium), I've been taking Olive Leaf extract, and Cissus Quadrangularus on a fairly regular basis. I'm fairly active, and weight bearing exercise (mostly walking and hiking) is routine. I've always had to be careful about gaining weight, so I make sure to eat nutritiously, although I was told back in 2017 to fain weight and eat more red meat....but I didn't and don't. lol I'm 5ft 3inches and keep my weight between 120 and 125. Other than taking the supplements, the only change I've made in my lifestyle since 2017 is being more cautions.....mindful of activities wherein I could fall and break something. I've been doing some research online for all the different treatments...a daily injection doesn't sound so pleasant to me...do you give it to yourself?
I also take extra collagen
