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 🙂
