I hope you can stand your ground, as they use to say. Another words, trust your intuition. I have a similar situation. I'm 75 with osteroporsis diagnosis. It's probably this way since I've been taking thyroid hormone since my 30's, and at times the amount was too high. So, this is probably what caused it. Also low VitD. Have this vitamin checked. It's low in many people. It needs to be taken in combination with Vit K. (they are combined in supplement). Good luck
The meds have difficult side effects. Study the problem.

Thanks. My vitamin D levels are fine (in fact my osteo doctor told me that my level was too high at 65 (January blood work at PCP) but just right at 64 (blood work ordered by osteo dr in May). I initially backed off my vit D, but then resumed about 1000 IU/day plus Florida sunshine. I also take vit K. I will read Dr. McCormick's book and will travel to get a second opinion (if my numbers remain bad). My quality of life is pretty good right now and the thought of living with headaches, joint pain, gastrointestinal issues, or worse really depresses me. Thanks again for your support and comments. 🙂
