Hi

[Alley27]

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am age 55 and have other conditions as well.

I have autoimmune hepatitis overlap primary biliary cholengitis, diagnosed 2011, hashimoto's thyroiditis diagnosed 2011, Asthma since childhood and last year diagnosed with hyper mobility syndrome and osteo arthritis.

A lot for anyone to live with then had a dexa scan in January 2020 and result is osteoporosis....I did not expect this at all however, my go insists its linked to the autoimmune liver disease and the steroids that are given long term to control the immune system attacks on the liver.

I am.not on any treatment yet, I still need to get an appointment with my gp to discuss that however, I do not want any more pills because I take enough already and I have developed a really sensitive gut.

I have taken calci d throughout my autoimmune liver journey, my job which I can't do anymore was physical, I walk everywhere and swim, I carry when I can because the autoimmune liver disease causes more problems than I can write here..so basically I don't understand.

Any help or information would be appreciated.

Thank you.
