I am newly diagnosed osteoporosis. Scores -3 to -3.4

Posted , 7 users are following.

Everything I have read has been negative reviews about drugs like fosamax.

I am trying to decide if I should try the natural route or drugs for osteoporosis.

Could you please share your experience with me.

    This is a link to emerging research indicating 3 m.g. of Melatonin rivals the effects of prescription osteoporosis meds.  I started on that dose and am hopeful that my bones will be significantly stronger for it.

      It doesn't seem like high % but worth a try, I need sleep anyway. Was doing  pretty good with sleep now I wake every 2 hours again and sometimes my upper back hurts.  Will give it a try. Thanks for posting.
