Hyperparathyroidism caused osteoporosis--now what treatment?

@michaellavacot I honestly dont know what mine is. My doctor has failed to test it, or put me on any Vit D or Calcium supplement. I do know that when I was treated by other specialists, I was put on 25000 units because my vit d was not even registering in the labs. I learned at that point, my body was not absorbing anything, the way it should. That was 2017. Unfortunately, that provider retired, and left me with slim pickings to choose from and start all over, my fear is, because nobody is monitoring it, despite bringing it up, that it is lost in the hustle.

Okay, it's 2025 and you're going to find a new doctor. You want to see an endocrinologist, and hopefully one that specializes in osteoporosis. Then you have to get a standard set of tests to rule out secondary causes of osteoporosis. After that, you will feel much more comfortable with developing a plan with your new doctor.

I put together a video for newcomers to osteoporosis that I really think you should watch https://youtu.be/Z4uXAsnhSaA . I promise it will be worth your time. And no, I don't get paid for it or by anyone, I'm just giving back to the community that helped me.

Get smart and be your own advocate! Good luck.
