Anyone taking HRT for their Osteoporosis?
I was on Forteo for 15 months and my spine went from -2.9 to -3.0. My Endocronoglist and I agreed that I was going in the wrong direction.

My mom had osteoporosis so bad that rolling over in bed she would crack or break vertebra but was put on a high dose of HRT and an annual osteo injection and she really improved. So I am a big supporter of HRT for osteoporosis.
