@dk68 My situation is very similar to yours re: T-scores and PCP recommendations, endo. I also requested and received a referral to an endocrinologist. I met with her last week and left the appt thinking that it was one of the best decisions I ever made. She recommended an anabolic followed by an antiresorptive to "seal in" the gains. Also, I have found R. Keith McCormick's new book, "Great Bones - Taking Control of Your Osteoporosis", very helpful. It was published last month (Feb 2023) and is available on Amazon or at his website.

Had you any low-impact fractures, before your DEXA (that triggered the scanning)? Your endo seems to be reflecting much of the current (emerging?) treatment protocols. I would think that an endo seeing my numbers would expedite my appt.

I was impressed with the account of bone-remodeling that McCormick gave. I am, however, a little skeptical with his claims regarding that supplements that can reset balance at the micro level when his program of supplements crests $100 a month.

I've taken many of them for years, but added K2 (mk7) and Mg after getting my diagnosis. I renewing my collagen powder with the idea that it will help avoid my bones become brittle.
