I got my DXA results today and there was an improvement in my t-scores this year over last year. Now they aren't recommending drugs therapy any more, and I shouldn't need another scan for three to five years. My doctor was impressed and asked me how I did it. I said Vitamin K2 and exercise! I think I should write up a little paper for her so she has a more complete picture. 
Don't bother write it for us LOL did you use any meds too ?
Do you know your numbers from last year
No drugs. That's the point! T-score improved from -1 to -1.6. I have the complete report now, and all the ones from the spine, with one exception, have improved, the one exception statistically remains the same as before.
Oops, improved from -2 to -1.6
Am I confused, I thought that to improve you go down to not being - but you have gone from -1 to -1.6 ???
I corrected it - a mere typo. -2 to 1.6
I'm green with envy - we'll done!
My score after 4 years of exercise, vitamins, minerals AND drugs has improved 12.7%. Spine score now in the range T-4 to-3.5.
I wish I had the confidence to try drug free for a while but if my score improves at this level hope to do that in a couple of years.
Congratulations.
I'm sure if you continue to do all the healthy bone things, as well as the meds, you will continue to improve! Just be careful about how long you take the meds - the possibility of a safe drug holiday (the meds stay in your bones for years) might be a good idea. Research, and check with your doctor.
LOL mines -3.1 femur and -2.5 neck of femur and spine fine weird or what
Thank you. Doc has suggested a drug holiday after a couple of years. First annual infusion on Friday - not looking forward to it - must be positive though - bad reaction after 3 years on denosumab.
Forced smile on lips!!!😆
I don't really understand the report, but as far as I can make out all the spine measurements I have are better than the hip. In fact if I'm interpreting them right they are very good for my age.
Oh well done Anhaga!!! This is good news for all of us on the 'natural' route.
I think if you have the time, to write up a list of the best supplements, foods and exercise (and anything else) and post it here for the benefit of the regular contributors. That would be fantastic!
I'm not due another scan until October next year but your update gives me real confidence to carry-on with my regimen.
Well done again and Happy Christmas.

Hi
Would be interested to know your t scores??
I really wish I had the courage to go down the natural route - I really do admire all those who do.
With my t scores being what they are and seeing my mother in a wheelchair in constant pain ( no osteo drugs available in those days), I decided I needed all the help I could get - hence the vitamins, minerals, 2 to 3 days in the gym and drugs.
I have researched, researched, researched and discussed at length with a number of doctors including family members who are doctors. Who knows it could be all the additional things I am doing and the drugs have nothing to do with my recent improved bone score but I'm far too wary to take that risk - for the moment anyway.
Take care everyone- Happy Christmas.
It's a very personal decision and I think at the very least the fact that you are actively involved in improving your bone health means you are giving the bone drugs the best chance to do what they are supposed to do, and not damage you in the process. 
Thank you.
You have given me courage.
Am so very pleased for you and thank you again for all your helpful research and general advice.

I think you should writeup a little paper for us here...please
Here's link to very long, old post. I had written a description of the beginning of my osteoporosis journey and shared it about half way down first page of the post. Things did change a little over the year, I got a bit more knowledgeable, a bit more flexible, but it's the best and most complete account I've made. So have a look. https://patient.info/forums/discuss/strong-bones-support-group-511551
