@cmael I am in the exact same position as you. It never occurred to me that my endocrinologist would have a role in this, what involvement does he have? I see him in September and my PCP in October so should I be speaking to my endo about this?
Thanks.

At my last appointment last summer, he said that if I would be on prednisone (5 mg or more) for more that 3 mos, it’s suggested that I take an rx for bone health. After my 1 yr check, and having a Dexa scan, I messaged him asking if he could check my scan and let me know if he thought I should be taking one of the meds for bones. He replied saying that after reviewing the scan etc. he could/would recommend it. It’s probably a good idea to talk to your endocrinologist about it. They are the ones who treat it. Prior to my transplant, he was the one who ordered my Dexa scans. I also see him for thyroid issues and previously parathyroid issues.
