I have never had symptoms from my osteoporosis. In 2019, at age 62, I began high dose prednisone for my autoimmune condition. I asked my PCP for a dexa as I had read this was recommended when starting prednisone. That is how I discovered my osteoporosis with a spine t score of -2.8 5 and 1/2 years ago.
