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.

Hubby is currently waiting for the results of his latest DEXA scan, as they think his
Osteopenia

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.

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.

Advice about Alendronic Acid
My result is osteoporosis in the spine (t score - 2.6),
osteopenia
femoral neck (t score - 1.8) and left hip (t score - 1.0). My risk of major fracture within 10 years is 9.6%. I have been prescribed Alendronic Acid 70mg once a week, which I am thinking of starting this weekend.

Vitamin K2
I bought this when I was prescribed D3 & calcium for
osteopenia
, I didn’t take it and just stuck with my vitaminD3 with K2 drops. I’m nearly out of my drops but was thinking of ordering some vitamin D3 and using these alongside as they were expensive. NRV is 267 )Any advice very welcome ☺️

Looking for some advice on taking the right dose of Calcium and Vit D3.
I had my last one in May 2020 (before diagnosis) which showed mild to moderate
osteopenia
. Since August 2020 I've been on prednisolone and a Calcium and Vit D supplement (as well as magnesium, biotin, Vit B complex) so I wanted to see whether or not my
osteopenia
had become worse.

Regional or metastatic? Proton + ADT +???
He has
osteopenia
in 1 hip and osteoporosis in other hip—didn’t know this before the DEXA scan; his primary put him on Boniva. Is this good enough or does he need one of the bone strengthening meds mentioned here? Wondering if anyone else has gone this route?
