Thanks for you update @nycdave7 . I am not on Reddit so it sounds like there is at least one other person with my similar drug challenge experience.

I can relate to your dental health. Like you, I take care of my mouth. Your repeated root canals sound frustrating. I started periodontal cleanings every three months after switching to a new dentist, not accepting “you’re just getting older” as a reason for gum disease. I have heard quite a bit of problems in our bodies shows up in our mouths so maybe there is a connection.

You mention in your initial discussion above you were looking for answers and were not getting them from so many doctors you have seen. Did you end up going to Mayo Clinic? What does your care team look like now? This has to be so overwhelming, and trust is so important. Do you have a provider, maybe a primary care coordinating your care?

I applied for the Mayo Clinic around 2018 / 2019, but did not get in. At the time, It was not discovered that I had osteopenia. At the time, I dont really have a care team. Just switched jobs where I am basically on site and the health insurance offered is not great.. I am on a high deductible plan and based on my historical luck, I have not bothered getting routine check ups with an Endo. At the time typing this, I have hip soreness and pain as a 31 years old fit Male who does strength training consistently.
