Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Had a Dexa scan this week, results are in and Dr wants to see me asap. I have an appointment tomorrow. I had a dexa scan about 10 yrs ago and everything was "fine" then.
I suspected results would show high risk, I am allergic to milk and still get gastric symptoms with Lactaid. I have never been a milk drinker all my life, or much dairy due to this. Cheese, yogurt, I can tolerate as long as I don't eat daily. I don't really like soy/oat/ or other "milks", I just don't like the taste or mouth "feel" of them, silly, I know.
I do eat Fresh fruits.veggies, esp brightly colored ones--peppers/greens/carrots/broccoli, etc.
Non smoker, very low alcohol. Do drink Coffee 2-3 cups a day, but no pop.
I take some Vitamins D and calcium, but obviously not enough.
Do walking for exercise, no wieghts.
I expect to be put on a prescription, otherwise she would have just told me to up my OTC Calcium and Vitamin D.
I will have more info tomorrow.
Have had Hyst. so can't take HRT.
Anyone with info on real life experience with meds/treatment, pros/cons?
I did the search and read the one forum thread for Osteoporosis that came up.
Thanks in advance!
