Re: BJ - Question part II

My only fear is how my bones will hold up. I suppose a bone density test every 2-3 months after beginning the taper would tell. Other than that, I take a very good menopause vitamin regime (Christiane Northrup's suggested vitamins and minerals), eat very healthy (although not usually organic due to availability), exercise (includes weight-bearing). I will look into receiving Doctor Lee's Newsletter and I thank you again for your feedback.

Take Care.
