[quote=Anonymous]I’ll do you one better: I’m almost 55, menopausalAND osteoporosis diagnosis since age 48. Completed five years of Fosamax, gained recommended 15 lbs (of muscle), solo walking with weighted vest 3 miles, 4 days week. Added protein to my diet. I’m a non smoker and never drink alcohol. Recently learned that my osteoporosis has worsened. Nothing I’ve done has helped. My short term goals are figuring out next steps. I have to find a rheumatologist to learn if maybe there’s a physiological explanation to my significant bone loss. In the meantime, I’m now taking additional calcium supplements and magnesium recommended by my GP. My goals are short term: maintain muscle mass, strength and flexibility. Figure out why Fosamax was not effective and why at 55 I have the bones of a frail elderly woman. There’s a clear genetic link: my mother, grandma and great grandmother all had severe osteo with dowagers humps. My older brothers have osteopenia. [/quote]
