I passed a test! Bone density
by skeeterknitwit, May 22, 2009 07:11AM
I went for my DEXA bone mineral density test yesterday.
There is no way to know how long I was hyper before it was diagnosed. And since hyperT causes osteoporosis, and I have low Vit D, and my estrogen is gone, I requested the bone density test.
The Doc called me last night to say my bones look good. Just 2 spots on my hip that are borderline. They are not bad enough to take a prescription. Just continue the Vit D supplements and scan again in a year. Yipee!!!
I found some info on xylitol sweetener being used to treat osteoporosis in Danish studies. Maybe I'll give that a try. I'll just do my own scientific study and I'll be the lab rat.
