[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So no Fosamax or anything similar? Were you diagnosed with osteoporosis? I was pronounced menopausal and learned from bone scan that I went from osteopenia to osteoporosis. Saw Dr Shari Diamond, a rheumatologist who prescribed Fosamax plus calcium supplements plus hard surface running and hiking. I’m also dairy free (by choice) but make an exception for Swiss cheese - high in calcium. [/quote] OP - wanted to ask...are you Asian? Small-to fragile frame? Fair skinned? Anyone in your family have osteoporosis? I’m all the above except Asian and that makes me at risk for osteoporosis. My parents had osteoporosis. My great grandmother had a horrible stoop/dowagers hump. I still was surprised by my diagnosis (shouldn’t have been, but was) and my older brother was curious about his own bone health and got a Dexa scan. Yes, my 56 year old brother has osteopenia and now takes dr-recommended calcium and will re check in another year.[/quote]
