Hi, forget the doctors, I always come to the experts!
I was diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease a few months ago, and a recent MRI shows deterioration in my orbit, which requires a three month weekly steroid intravenous treatment, the consequences of 'not' having it would be eventual surgery or indeed loss of sight.
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a few years and have kept my bones in check naturally. As many of you know, steroids can lead to bone loss, but the medics tell me that they add a bone drug to stop that happening, just what I've resisted all these years!
The nurse could only remember the bone drug begins with an R (!). I will obviously be meeting with a consultant beforehand, but I wonder if any of you have encountered this, and what your feelings are. The course lasts for three months so it is not long term thank goodness.
In advance, thank you for your thoughts. Lynn
PS... my last bone scan was in 2018 when my worst T-score was my femur neck and it wa -2.4, my other scores averaged -1.6.
