Hi
I can't even get an appointment with my endocrinologist since my current refractions so I wouldn't even bother but I know one thing I'm not going on prolia unless I have a sit-down face to face with him to discuss all the questions I have

@sue4'17 You might be a candidate for HRT. You would need the full dose to be most effective. I do hope you're still in the ten year opportunity window after starting menopause for it to be most helpful, but also afterwards you may be able to get it in some cases from some doctors.

An alternative would be raloxifene, but it seems to be not as effective as the other medicines on the market.

There may be other medicine options that I don't know of.

If you have a diagnosis you shouldn’t need an appointment to get a “letter of medical necessity”. Don’t give up be persistent daily phone calls. My cousin was in the Toronto area and also had a really difficult time getting an appointment. By the time he did it turned out he had stomach cancer that could it have been dealt with earlier he might of survived. Ironically his wife died from the same thing a year and a half later. Getting appointments in Canada is really difficult but keep trying.
