Seems that the bioidenticals are the meds of choice then as it increases the estrogen again. A friend on facebook sold evista another Serm like tamoxifem and said that is what she would take in a heartbeat. Only negative with the evista is blood clots from my research but the osteoclasts don't rebuild bone they break it down and seems the osteoblasts don't build new bone just the dead bone from the osteoclasts appears to seem on a Dexa Scan that the bone is denser. So that eliminates fosamax, boniva, actonel.
D3 was tested adequate middle of normal but take it anyway with the calcium magnesium have taken since 20's so that front is covered. They say now vita K is also a bone builder. So that's in my calcium also. Strangly I feel that the synthroid isn't needed anymore. Also was a Tom boy so played baseball, always hiking, swim team, walking when kids little, running for years, lifting weights, ran til 59 when I tripped and fell and fractured arm. So It seems that excercise didn't do it. And all the high level aerobic dance I choreographed and taught and trained the instructors didn't help. Pain to me is worse than any dysthymia I may have. Always the anxiety which seems also to not need the benzos down to lmg of xanax and 7.5 valium with the 50 luvox which I know increases the blood levels of benzos. I'm thinking of just cold turkeying the benzos as I sleep to late. Look at the time I'm on the computer. Okay up til three but no excuse. Still ride the bike nightly in the dark. I still feel since the lymes and thyroid same time went that is when most of problems started. I'm really glad to see posting on here and am glad that some are posting. Blue still need to reply to you. Thanks for answering. My appointment with the bone doc Dec. Then since still using half the dose of bioidenticals I will decide whether to get back to full dose on them. Oh my neighbor who had breast cancer only 50 now took her tamoxifen and still has osteo and is on I think actonel as boniva did nothing for it. Bone Dexa was bad. So many searches out there on this topic. Amazing. Love Phillipa ps google the newest hotest supplement out there for bone growth wwwbonegrowth.com. It's a scam in my opinion
