Thank you for your always timely and relevant posts from a 65 year old who is also at the end of two years on actonel and weighing whether or not to continue (in consultation with my internist). I’m interested in learning about measures other than dexa scans for determining bone strength, as I’ve heard there are some alternatives.
I take an anti-estrogen medication for metastatic breast cancer. My hair not only has thinned but it has changed from naturally curly to straight and ugly. My dermatologist mentioned that there is an oral minoxidil that she thinks is effective, although she wants me to get approvals from my oncologist and PCP to see if it would interfere with any of my other prescriptions. Have you heard of this drug?
I think it was my barber that explained that grey hair appears thinner even if there is the same amount of hair. Not sure if that helps but sometimes it may look worse than it actually is.
