Thanks, Becky for your suport. It is wonderful to be able to have the benefit of others experiences. I have been on steroids now for 3 months and only now GP is starting to discuss Osteoporosis with possibility of Bisphosphenate medication. Still awaiting an appointment for a DEXA scan to assess the situation.

@macferse If I were you and knowing what i know now about prednisone and osteoporosis, I would take the bisphosphamate meds and now have to worry about osteoporosis . You said that you may have to wait a year for the DEXA and you’ll be on the prednisone all that time. It’s all worth a good discussion with your GP.
Will you let me know what you decide?
