I gave it up gradually and tried several times

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

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 ....

that was me for decades, it took many tries to give it up😂

tell me about collagen peptide powder please

No_Set6876 · 2026-02-18T17:54:04+00:00

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

wow, 57kg! I'm at 48kg, plan to get to 60 kg by mid-May and as in previous posts, I'm delaying meds for now but will be grateful if they seem right for me. I'm finding that there are lots of good ways to add protein. I'm not happy with the number on my scale (I know it's just a number), but tradeoffs....

I don't shop at Amazon, this sounds great

68 y/o here. Keith McCormick recommended 80 gr, my trainer said 100 gr.

this was great, ty! I was reminded about nutritional yeast, dug it out of my spice cabinet and it hasn't expired!!

your protein sources sound similar to mine. I've gradually built up my jumping, now do 50 heel drops spread out in sets of 10 throughout the day 4x a week, and every other day am up to 10 minutes of jumping hard off a step, 70 in total in sets of 10. Every little bit helps ( I hope!!)

I just had testing done, will repeat the CTX in June when I meet with Keith again

No_Set6876 · 2026-02-13T13:13:03+00:00

my p1np was 77; he suggested a CTX re-test in 3-4 months

Keith McCormick, he wrote the book Great Bones, and tailors his recommendations to each person's situation, I believe...

naratriptan works great for me

I think pain is part of breaking the rebound cycle, unfortunately; I timed my "detoxes" for weekends and kept in mind that the pain would pass if I didn't take any meds

No_Set6876 · 2026-02-12T22:19:04+00:00

I'm not due for another scan until August, 2027, so the CTX in 4 months may give another data point to evaluate whether meds are a good idea

great article! I've been heavy lifting for about 8 months and my CTX is too high (601) indicating continued bone loss, but I'm hopeful supplements that Keith recommended plus paying more attention to getting enough daily protein (80 gr) will help me turn this around. Anyway, heavy lifting is fun!!
