Hi Saje. I'm on a UK site and I noticed there that tons of women are automatically put on zolodrenic acid infusions when starting AI's. Although I was technically osteopenia on my first Dexa, my doctor didn't recommend it yet. But when my ALP scores started creeping up we suspected bone loss so they started me on them. No huge side effects to speak of and it gives me a great deal of comfort to know that not only am I fighting osteoporosis but also the possibility of bones mets. Zolodrenic acid lowers your chances of that. Anyway though I'd mention it.

I was recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis, and I have been taking Tamoxifen for the past 7+ years. Apparently, I am one of the rare cases where, paradoxically, Tamoxifen can cause bone loss! My T-Score is -2.5, but my oncologist does not recommend treatment yet. I already work out, take Vitamin D and Calcium and eat pretty healthy. So I am honestly not sure what else I can do to improve my bone density!
