My DEXA scan (bone density) was ... not great. Adding a calcium and Vitamin D supplement. Continuing yogurt and hot chocolate consumption. Maybe boosting resistance training. 😐 #perimenopause
That provides points in favor of starting #MHT #HRT. Dropping progesterone and estrogen hurts bones. ☠️ #perimenopause
I'm a white lady with a relatively slight frame and Crohn's disease, which basically means I'm fucked in the bone strength department.
We're becoming those old people with all of the pill bottles.

@stevegis_ssg I talk myself into having hot chocolate at least twice a week for my bones. 😂
Also and more seriously make sure you're getting enough vitamin D. It's pretty safe to supplement and can be a real issue during the season when we're in long sleeves all the time (or for those of us who just don't like going out in the sun), and your body won't absorb or use the calcium without it.
@stevegis_ssg I just bought some! Doctor-recommended 2,000 IUs.

@farah @stevegis_ssg He's a Safeway employee who gets really upset when you mess up his nice yogurt stacks. Rushes over to straighten them up while cursing at you under his breath. I try very hard to avoid him.

@farah @stevegis_ssg I always hashtag #AngryYogurtMan when I get groceries. I haven't run into him in a while, thankfully. I think he works Saturday mornings and I've been going later.

@farah @stevegis_ssg No idea! Maybe you have better things to do on Saturdays than read my toots. 😂
