| Introduction | I am a 60-year-old female with osteoporosis. I took Fosamax 70 mg once weekly for seven months until I could no longer endure the side effects. For the following month, I took no medication. Since January 21, 2008, I have been on 680 mg strontium (as citrate) once daily. I intend to relate my progress. My first DEXA scan was done May 8, 2007. My T-score at the lumbar spine was -3.0 (-2.0 at L1, -2.7 at L2, -3.4 at L3 and -3.8 at L4). My T-score at the left hip was -2.2 (-2.8 at neck, -2.0 at troch, -1.9 at inter). My BMD results in g/cm2 were 0.712 at the spine (L1-L4), 0.53 at the left hip (neck), and 0.670 at the left hip (total). A followup scan is planned for July 6, 2009.
