Hi, @kittiecat
You mention being in the Boston area. Are the doctors you are seeing in Boston? I guess I would be considered to be in the Boston area, I'm an hour north of it, but the quality of care cannot compare to what I have gotten at Mass General. My endocrinologist is Dr. Elaine Yu who is the Director of the MGH Bone Density Center. She has a lot of research to her credit:

"Dr. Yu leads active clinical and clinical research programs in the fields of osteoporosis and obesity/metabolic diseases. She is Director of the MGH Bone Density Center and is actively involved with the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Endocrine Society. Dr. Yu is currently the Principal Investigator of multiple studies investigating the pathophysiology and treatment of skeletal fragility due to bariatric surgery and diabetes."

She is very nice to work with, very approachable, and easy to talk to. Appointments with her almost seem like like visits with a friend.

Another doctor at MGH who I have heard great things about is Dr. Wein. Here is a presentation he gave at an OsteoBoston group that I am part of. I have not actually watched this presentation myself and I unfortunately missed the zoom meeting that night.

I hope you can find a resolution to your problems. That might well require a change in doctors. As I said, I have found the difference between doctors outside of Boston and those at the major medical centers in Boston to be very significant. I go to Boston now for pretty much everything except my PCP.
