Question from Johanna: hormone replacement therapy My mother is 69. She had a total hysterectomy in her early 40's. She had to stop hormone treatment due to blood clots. She has not been on any HRT since. She now has bad Osteoarthritis, joint pains, muscle pains, etc. She had Lyme disease a few years ago also in severe stages (10 years ago.) She still feels better when ever they put her on any antibiotics for sore throats for instance. She had a bone density test done recently and her doctor prescribed Miacalcin. Mom has been on 1000 milligrams of Calcium with a combination pill of vitamin D and boron for years. She is becoming more and more bowlegged and has increasingly difficulty walking (it is painful) She does ride her bike since it is not a weight bearing activity. By the afternoon she is very tired. Is it too late for her to have hormone replacement therapy, what kind of doctor should she be seeing, med.'s etc.? Is there a way to reverse this process? Mom has allergies with sinus drainage and gets frequent bronchitis because of it during the winter months. She takes Allegra. Will this interfere with the Miacalcin? Any information you could possibly give me would be appreciated. Thank you very much, Johanna

Question from Russell: Male Osteoporosis I am 74 years old and had a CATscan 3 weeks ago. The xray doctor said that I had a 70% loss is my spine. My medical Doctor put me on Evista, I have been taking extra calcium along with the Evista. I had been taking Lipitor for high cholesterol but the Dr. took me off of that because my blood platelets had gone down to 121,000. Do you have any suggestions?
