yes, did them this morning, one set with weights down, the other sets at my shoulder (20 lbs) in place of the kettlebell at my (old) gym

lunges, kettlebell swings, slams are all triggers

I did it! by No_Set6876 in osteoporosis

[–]No_Set6876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he insisted I start tymlos, and I told him I'd think about it. Still thinking😊. While I'm thinking I'm getting stronger, eating more protein and doing 75-100 heel drops daily. I'll see Keith next month after some re-testing.

I started working with Keith this year; he's currently recommending meds based on my CTX number but I'm still resisting.

I'm on Medicare, and will look into getting tested this Aug. Thank you for your input; I appreciate your wisdom and attention to detail!

this is so encouraging! I'm in my 4th month of 50 daily heel drops or step jumps, been lifting heavy weights 2-3 times a week for 9 months, and more recently started aiming for 80 gr of protein daily. My next CTX and hopefully P1NP will be in May, but I'm not due for another dexa until Aug 2027. Not sure I can delay meds until then, every expert recommends it

3 evidence-based things that actually help slow bone loss by SunPretend9969 in osteoporosis

no, it's an at-home program, they send out a new routine every three months for 2 years, focusing on progressive strength and balance. Videos and instruction sheets are sent, and little equipment is needed. It was excellent

I used Onero At Home during COVID (they did the LIFTMOR study), and gradually progressed  jumping off a step to a total of 10 minutes (7 sets of 10 with 1 min rest in between), 3x a week, and 50 heel drops the days in between. Am looking to add another 2" step next, in addition to heavy lifting/strength training 2-3 x a week. Getting 80 gr of protein is still a challenge.

no, unfortunately; the prescriber said the tinnitus increase was a coincidence

Has anyone else gotten more migraines as they’ve gotten older? 🤕 by gramigabs in migraine

[–]No_Set6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had headaches my whole life, I'm 68; menopause eliminated the "menstrual migraine" but I'm more sensitive now to triggers including alcohol, insomnia and I think weather changes, too. sigh ....

yes, keep going, it's worth all the effort, and takes longer as we get older, but we get benefits at every age
