Depo-provera side effects

[Judeski]

I went to the dentist with a lose tooth.  He said I had 85% bone loss in my front, upper jaw, and had to have my teeth extracted.  Then I was diagnosed with osteopenia, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and NOW depo-induced menopause. Are they all related to depo-provera use?  I was taking it for 5 years.  In what order do I treat this set of disorders?  Why is my jaw the primary target? Will the bone loss stop, reverse?  My endocrinologist said I should be taking hormone-replacement therapy, but that's what started me on this road to begin with!  Help! I really don't want to have menopause twice.  Any suggestions?

As widley as depo is used there is so much neg feed on it I had a no period while I was on it then once I got off I had a three month long period. You defiantly need to up your calcium if you haven't started already. Also there are multi vit that can really help balence out your hormones but just ask your doc. if there is some more natural way that can coincide with any meds they would want to give you. Also there is a new med out there that has had sucsess with rebuilding bone, I am not sure off hand what the name off the med is but I am sure your doc should have an idea if you mentioned it to him also make sure you make a list of all the questions it sounds like you have alot on your plate right know and you don't want to miss anything. I am sure your body is depleted of all nutrients with whats going on right know try a liquid vit it will not only give everything you need but it will absorb quicker and it gives a boost of energy that I am sure you need. I truly hope everything works out.
