osteoporosis

[Guest guest]

Going further down this rathole, I had problems with side effects

from various hrt meds, until I went on estrace and prometrium, which

for me have no detectable side effects at all.

Premarin is a problem from an animal welfare point of view, as it is

made from the urine of pregnant mares (pre-mar-in) who are kept

confined in stalls and constantly pregnant. The foals are usually

sold for slaughter.

Hi Breta & Trudy:

I was on premarin/prempro for years until they found irregularties in

my boobs - at which time I was switched to Evista. So I have been on

Evista now for a few years. The Doctor's notes on the bottom of my

Bone Density Test states, " Ellen Gilmartin is one of the 25% who has

not responded to Evista. " . I am still on Evista.

As previously posted, I take 1500 calcium; 400 D and *once a week*

Fosomax - along with all that heart stuff. I just counted the pills I

gobble up every day - *eleven* (11) - WOW!

Ellen

Hi, all,

I'm new to this list so apologize if this has been discussed in depth

already.

My 54-year-old friend just called to tell me she was diagnosed with

osteoporosis and wanted to know if there was something she needed to

be eating. I told her first to check vitamin D status because I know

many women in the northeast have low levels due to lack of sunshine.

Is there anything else she should be paying attention to besides

calcium/magnesium intake and general healthy intake (and of course

her dr checking if there are any other issues creating the problem).

Also R/O Celiac disease!

Is she menopausal or if so how many years out? The first 5 years of

menopause are very difficult to stop the

decrease in bone loss just through diet and supplements. If she started

menopause very recently and already has a dx of osteoporosis (not

osteopenia) she really needs to talk to the MD. Great idea checking the

blood Vit D status. Otherwise they are just guessing her needs.

I also want to interject that weight bearing exercise is a key factor in

retaining bone.

If she chooses to supplement, i hope she makes sure she is getting a high

quality one that can be absorbed- with the cofactors needed to lay down bone

matrix.....
