Medicinal experiences
I was diagnosed with
osteopenia
several years ago and put on bisphosphonates. These eventually caused a hiatus hernia so I stopped taking them. Meanwhile developed breast cancer. Have been taking preventative medication post mastectomy and chemo for 5+ years.

Day 98
Hubby has now been told that the new scans show that he now has
Osteopenia
and Osteoporosis. Hubby still has the shakes, which we have been told is not down to the alcohol anymore. Hubby is still waiting for his tilt test to see if they can see what caused the blackouts.

A bit gutted 😞
I had a Dexa before I started on Pred four years ago which showed
Osteopenia
, no surprise as I was over sixty. I was prescribed Risedronate , which I took for about a year.

Dexa scan results
Got my dexa results today and it appears I have
osteopenia
throughout the lumber spine and total hip with osteoporosis of femoral neck. Wish I'd taken the flipping alendronic acid now! What now? Is any of this reversible? Feeling very tearful, please help.

How to avoid, even reverse, osteoporosis
So nice to hear a physician describe how
osteopenia
and osteoporosis can be prevented or reversed through non-medicine means. Unlike a mere patient like me describing their experience he has the knowhow to list the various common medciations which can contribute to bone thinning.

Dental Health , Metronidazole and Compromised Immune System
While I was recently (fatally) 'congratulating' myself on NOT developing many of the long term side effects of Pred (although I have had some - cataracts/weight gain/
osteopenia
) my dental health was covertly fast deteriorating.

Positive chat with GP
My doctor rang with the results of my Dexa Scan and I have
Osteopenia
which he says is post menopausal and age related, and he is happy for me to carry on with Adcal , exercise and diet. He wants another scan in 3 years, so pleased with that.

Update on hubby 13/7/2021
Hubby has a DXA scan next week as they think his
Osteopenia
is now Osteoporosis? Hubby has had his tilt test cancelled for the second time, so that is not until the middle of August now. They are hoping that this might give them a cause/reason for his blackouts.

Update on hubby 31/7/2021
Hubby is currently waiting for the results of his latest DEXA scan, as they think his
Osteopenia
has now progressed to Osteoporosis. We are also awaiting the results of his latest Fibroscan, the technician commented that there wasn't much change from last time???

Hubby was admitted to hospital last night
The dr is worried he has fractured another vertebrae, as hubby also has
osteopenia
, so they are going to do a ct scan. Hubby has told then that he has been detoxing, so they are also going to give him something to help with the withdrawals.

Confused re Levothyroxine dosage
I have
osteopenia
...the forerunner of osteoporosis). That's OK as far as it goes but I can't understand why, following my latest check five weeks ago, still with the same results, I have had my Levothyroxine raised from 100mcg to 125mcg. I have queried this twice but without an explanation.

DEXA Scan - how often?
He has had two scans since diagnosis and has been diagnosed with
osteopenia
. I think his T was -1.6 in 2020. Previously it was -1.7. He did not have a baseline DEXA. Thanks in advance.
