Re: MENOPAUSE: menopause

Debra,

I assume you've had a DexaScan that determines the extent of bone loss,if any. Your doctor recommends any required treatment after the scan, but generally calcium (and sometimes Vitamin D as well)is what is used. Walking or other weight bearing exercise helps. These days estrogen or estrogen based medicines would be reserved for the highest risk cases because of potential risks.

I am not a medical professional but am in menopause. (It's a lot better than I thought it would be !)

Best wishes- Pam
