@zooie I have had a very good endocrinologist at a major teaching hospital for 20 years. He does not do bone markers and says they give an incomplete picture of what is going on in bones.

Two years ago I saw another endo who does bone markers a couple of times and yes, told her I was also seeing the other endo.

I have also talked with McCormick at various times over 15 years or so. My endo doesn't know I talk to McCormick though I have mentioned McCormick's use of bone markers.

McCormick is not on my portal, obviously, so there is no need to tell any doctor about him. MY PCP knows because I ask them to order bone markers. I have considered talking to my endo about how everyone is reading "Great Bones" and watching videos and discussing bone marker testing so often!

You don't need a team. You do need a doctor you can trust. Osteoporosis is a long term issue with long term treatment for many of us.

When I had cancer I got 4 opinions. Seeing different providers is not making a team. It is just getting different perspectives and then deciding which one to follow or in some cases combining them.
