Wow, so similar. I am on prolia also. I went from gyn to an np in the pcp office but both left and had to find a new pcp. Was due my script and no where else would take me without referral. New pcp wrote the script but during this time off which I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be off, I had 6 compression fractures. Got referred to trauma center with fracture prevention specialist. She's actually a PA that supposedly deals with this. I had a referral Nov 29 for endocrinologist and still have no appt scheduled. Don't know if they would be any better. I feel like we all deserve the same health care and we should all have a good dr. I made the mistake once and not going to do it again. Don't even know how to get in with anyone and if they actually KNOW osteoporosis. I have watched videos from drs, read tons of info and I want one of those drs that knows their stuff!!!! I am only 56 and I want someone good since this is a lifetime ordeal. I don't want to look back in a few years and wish I had.... like I do now. So sorry for you.

I started out the same in my small town with a PCP and an Orthopedic Surgeon (they happen to be brothers). Both treated my OP as somewhat of a lost cause. I requested BTM tests, and the specialist wouldn't do it. At the time, my insurance was very limiting. I changed plans, and now have access to high quality care from an Endocrinologist who specializes in OP. She's running every test possible to get the the source of my bone loss. She even asked me if I wanted any other tests run while we're at it. Most importantly, she is encouraging me to choose my own treatment. I had to do a lot of searching to find her, and now I have to drive quite a way for my appointments, but as you said, "I don't want to look back in a few years and wish I had…." I agree with you that we all deserve the same healthcare, and I hope that you can find a doctor who will give you the care you deserve.
