@mslw Of course Brigham and MGH are "partner hospitals" so that can be helpful, I guess. Or will one not want to contradict the other? My orthopedic surgeon who did my TKR is part of Brigham and it was very helpful in that case.
I am really interested in hearing what they say. Do you mind if I ask who the endos are? If you prefer to not say in a public forum you could PM me. I really just want to gather as much info as possible. This diagnosis has really got me spinning. I thought I was doing great, eating well, exercising at least six days a week, I lost weight (that probably contributed to osteoporosis!), and now I find myself fearing a fall. I know when the icy days of winter arrive I will be a wreck.
I felt great before and frankly pretty pleased with myself for how well I was doing. Now I am pretty discouraged.
Thank you.
JK

Hi, JK.
Is this PM or just another way of posting to the group?

Or will one not wantto contradict the other?
Good point. If #2 has not looked at my record (?), I will start off  being vague about what #1 said.

I am absolutely fumingat my PCP that he dropped this ball. What was his excuse?

I lost weight (thatprobably contributed to osteoporosis!), Me too! My BMI is very low and myfather had osteoporosis....died soon after a fall which broke his hip.

I am also meeting with my (concierge) PCP in between endocrinologist visits, soI will have 3 opinions.She used to work in Partners, but now can contradict anyone she wants... doesn’t recommend oralmedication because I have swallowing issues (another mystery!)....put that in a note to the Brigham doc.
If you PM me after 10/10 I will give you names of  endos. and more information.

I know when the icydays of winter arrive I will be a wreck.  I use something like ski poles, just in case Ihave to walk on ice.
Now I am prettydiscouraged.
Focus on what you cando (within reason) going forward. Easy to give advice, I know.
