Positivity so important...this site has helped me become educated about the different methods of treatment and has educated me on questions to ask. Doctors are busy people with a lot of patients; they prescribe what they feel is best for you, but they do not educate you on osteoporosis, what the Dexa scores mean, what is considered a good increase (just that you are "doing better"). Once I leave the doc's office and start researching on the internet is when I start understanding that there are questions that should be asked; different meds, weight training, PT, different tests, studies out there, etc. Never got any of this type if information from the doc as I didn't even know what to ask! I don't blame the medical profession; I am not their only patient. I have a Q&A appointment with my current endo today; I may get another opinion because the treatments for osteoporosis are very powerful drugs and very long term.
