Hashimotos/low tsh but low t4 and t3 help
I also have
osteopenia
( I am 57 yr old female) so my doctor is concerned about adding more T3 so instead he bumped up my T4 (synthroid) to 100 mcg.

steroid reduction
been so difficult for me as the diagnosis is only 50/50 but went on steroids to be safe, I really didn’t want to as I saw how they affected my mum in so many ways, I’m am trying to be as healthy as I can, but now realise that weaning off of the steroids is the biggest part, I already have glaucoma and

Lansoprazole and prednisolone
He also prescribed alendrolic acid, but advised me to get loose teeth sorted first (I already had
osteopenia
due to an early change in my late 30s/early 40s).

Esomprazole, stomach issues and calcium deficiency
I resisted the AA until a DEXA scan identified osteoporosis and
osteopenia
. I switched to Risedronate because I could not tolerate the AA. I struggled a bit with the Risedronate until last November when I had stomach problems - bloating, wind, pain.

Has anyone else been diagnosed with hypercalciuria (excess calcium in urine) causing osteoporosis?
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis (in my spine) and
osteopenia
(in my hips) despite being very active and having worked out with weights for years. I'm 63 (I was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago).

Calcium supplements - are they essential for PMR
I had a private Dexa scan in March 2022 which showed I had
osteopenia
but my T scores were ok. I’m about to book a repeat Dexa scan for the end of March. It’s so hard to know who to believe. I don’t want to jeopardize my bone health by stopping the calcium. Has anyone else had this issue?

Fear of too many vitamins.
My story is , I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago but only one digit into it on my right hip 2.6 the rest
osteopenia
. I decided after much research not to take prescribed medication owing to the terrible possible long term effects. So started to take vitamins.

Alendronic Acid
The last DXA scan on 16th May 2019 diagnosed a little
osteopenia
. I take two Ad cal D3 tablets a day. From what I have read I don't like the sound of the AA. Is it necessary?

Mental function disappearing
Before Xmas I've been diagnosed with

What Now Pt 2
Dexa revealed
Osteopenia
. Hip and Spine is -1.5 and femoral neck is -2.3 (flirting with osteoporosis). I'm asking myself Why The F@@k have I been destroying my body with a drug ( XGEVA) that was supposed to prevent this? Is it time for a vacation from ADT, or time for a new Oncologist, or both?

Second Opinion?
After the X-rays revealed the fracture, my GP ordered a dexa scan, where
Osteopenia
was discovered, as well as being right on the cusp of osteoporosis , I informed my Oncology Team, they determined(without images, only a written report) the fracture was "Osteoporotic", and NOT cancer related.
