What Type Of Doctor Do You Go To For Osteoporosis? (after Diagnosed)
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I think there was one great doctor for Osteoporosis, Dr. Darah Morgan. She retired. Everybody else goes by what the pharmaceutical salespeople are pushing. I do have a friend from India who is an MD… read more

Has Anyone Tried Algae Cal Plus The Stotnium?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor is pushing for me to go on Prolia and I'm resistant, hoping to try a more holistic approach.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Vitamins
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was told to take vit D 5000 a day for Osteopenia (borderline Osteoporosis). Is it good to take
calcium also? Should I go to my regular doctor of a specialist.

Suggestions.

thank you,

A MyOsteoTeam Member

i'm really curious about Algae Cal too has anyone used it and seen the dramatic results they claim?

Evenity
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone tried or is trying Evenity? I've been on Prolia for 2 1/2 years, and bones still got worse. Reading about this Evenity, I'm scared to death on taking it. Only 1 hospital out of all in my area will even give it, and to see in clinical trials women died of heart attacks and / or strokes, and the FDA at first would not even approve it..... I think I would fare better with more fractures. Sounds like it's scary stuff

Good Morning Everyone. I Hope You Are All Well. Anyone Have Any Experience, Taking Fosamax? I Am Due To Start It Due To Bad Scan Readings?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have osteoporosis for several years and have been putting off taking any meds as I am scared with all the reported side effects. I was sent to a rheumatologist and he says I am at risk for fracture as my scan readings are at critical levels and I must take something. He suggests Fosamax to start. I know I have no choice and am very worried but he explained my probability of having a fracture is much greater than any side effects I take calcium and Vitamin D. I appreciate any insight all… read more
