SilleeMee, your story brought tears to my eyes just knowing what you went through.

Thank you so very much for sharing everything to us.  I am going to get the Organic powder you recommended due to just this year my PCP wanting to put me on a med for osteoporosis.

My radiology center actually makes me put a gown on. Make sure you have no metal in your clothes, and no jewelry on.

Last time I had one, was 3 years ago, fully clothed.

I take 600mg of the loose bamboo silica powder, about one heaping 1/4-teaspoon daily.

I fell and broke my hip 4 months ago at age 73. I made a great recovery after surgery to add pins at the break. I live alone and use no assistive devices. I am scheduled for the Dexa scan next week. It is likely that they will put me in the drugs. I have researched the drugs and discovered that the common drugs like Fosamax do not build bones but keep you from losing bone mass. Only the Evenity treatment builds bone but it carries a black box warning of stroke and and heart disease and only can be used for one year. Does anyone take Evenity ( IV treatments)? If you use Fosamax or another pill for bones, did you have side effects? Did you show bone improvement? Thank you,
