2 years ago, I pushed for testing to see why I was leaching calcium. I discovered that one of my parathyroid glands was enlarged. It was removed and I had improvement in my first dexa scan. I am having my second dexa scan this week. Because I lost enough bone to cause osteoporosis, I started Fosomax, but hope to be finished soon. Sometimes, the parathyroid gland is the cause of the calcium loss.
