I didn't seek consultations outside traditional medical system, since i dont have much obvious medical issues ehich may cause op as a result or family history ( although my greatgrandma and grandma were skin and bones in their 80s and 90s). Not on any Rxs except a small dose of crestor. My GI is fine. The tests my endo ordered are main ones I think such as: vitd, 24hr urine calcium with creatinine, parathyroid hormone, dx for celiac disease, basic metabolic panel, morning cortisol. There is a dexamethasone challenge test. Later she also checked some rarer ones like prolactin level, serum electrophoresis, tryptase, plasma histamine etc. Nothing out of ordinary. Guess the main culprit for me is estrogen loss. She monitored my blood calcium, which was elevated for couple months after the start of forteo, but this is expected. VitD was checked periodically. Then some btm markers and yearly dexa.

I read a paper which has a full table of possible causes of op and corresponding diagnostic tests. Can't find it right now as I'm not good at organizing the amount of info generated in learning this terrible condition.

Please share your progress if you could. The collective experiences from each member could benefit lots of women and men in the years to come.

Wish you the best!
