Please don't feel ridiculous about any of it, your feelings or reactions, which are justified and very understandable. I can't recall at the moment but lowest numbers in femoral necks, between -2.6 and -3, around that in hips too, oddly no osteoporosis (as of 2023) in spine, or very little if I recall. I too asked about going to physical therapy and she said PT is for when you have an injury. I read so many conflicting reports and advice, became kind of obsessed, then hired a personal trainer close to my age and happened to find a physical therapist (went initially for a labrum tear) who knew a lot about osteoporosis and I got a script to see him for exercises, so at least partly covered by insurance unlike my personal trainer, though she is well worth it. I've also been very low in Vit. D over the years, have some absorption issues but not celiac, and take 7,000 most days. I'm so sorry about the celiac, that is just an insult to injury. Have you looked into Vit. D drops? I don't want to presume your financial situation but it sounds like Dexas aren't very expensive (relatively speaking) and you could get one self-pay. The fact that they don't give us Dexa at our last period is particularly outrageous when you hear that it's not a terribly expensive test. I felt I was too young for osteo meds since they can only be taken for a few years, not sure what I was going to do in say 10 years if my numbers decreased substantially. I don't know if you can access this site but I check them regularly since supplements aren't regulated and random people on the internet will recommend all kinds of things, https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/how-can-i-find-supplements-that-are-gluten-free-on-consumerlabcom/gluten-free-supplements-consumerlab/ Feel free to reach out privately too, there must be a way to do that on here.
