Thanks so much. Just One statement to clarify. The PRIMARY cause of my bone loss was definitely the hyperparathyrpid syndrome.
In fact due to the parathyroid hormone so much calcium was actively removed from my bones that I have enormous calcium stones from my body trying so hard to keep my blood calcium levels in a normal range. And get rid of the high calcium levels in my blood by filtering it out in urine.. The way my condiction was discovered was through unbelievably high blood calcium levels from calcium being literally sucked from my bones.
If I ha e post menopausal osteoporosis it has yet to be discovered.
You are right regarding estrogen and bone health.
We wouldn't simply put every post menopausal female on medication.
I might be a good healthy post menopausal woman that doesn't need medication. I mean... it IS possible.

Haha, fair point!

Just to clarify, I was going by the usual classification where estrgen deficiency is considered the primary cause of osteoporosis (or osteopenia, bone loss in general), and everything else (like disease states or medication-induced causes) falls under secondary causes.

So when I said "secondary cause of your bone loss", I actually meant your main or 'primary' cause - hyperparathyroidism! Gotta love how definition can shift depending on perspective 🙂
