Hi folks, just had a DEXA scan and diagnosed with osteoporosis (2.8 measurement).
I've read of some nasty side effects from treatment meds. If they are even effective? Read that 90% of women over 80 have osteoporosis...so it's often from attaining an older age?
Has anyone opted out of prescribed meds and plans to continue a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition, weight-bearing exercise and supplements?
Would welcome your views...
