Hello, sprush 1. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I know how you feel about your osteoporosis diagnosis.I had a Dexa scan done last year, just as routine, and was diagnosed with osteopaenia and osteoporosis. I am 56 and apparently my bone density is very low for my age. I still feel overwhelmed and depressed by this. I am now scared of falling all the time.
Like you, I am very reluctant to take the medications. I saw a bone specialist who said I could probably defer them if I stay on hrt. Otherwise I would probably consider stopping hrt as since starting it,I have had massive hair loss, but of course it may not be connected. I take vitamin d and am looking for a good k2 supplement. The consultant said it is better to get calcium from dietary sources so am doing my best. Have always done lots of weight-bearing exercise. All in all, between the osteoporosis diagnosis and the hair loss, I feel I have become old overnight. So I understand how overwhelmed you feel and am sending you my thoughts and good wishes.
