Well, that is fun! A few weeks ago my dietician recommended I have a DEXA scan done to figure out why my weight loss had stalled. Her reasonings were valid, but I do not remember them all at this moment. I discussed this with my doctor and he sent me for the scan, which was scheduled for yesterday.
This morning the nurse from my PCP's office called and gave me the results. At 42 years old I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. This isn't just "take some extra calcium and you'll be good. I take 2000 milligrams of calcium every day. I should've BEEN GOOD. They are calling me in a shot to start taking for it. I don't remember if she said it would be weekly or monthly. I don't even remember the name of it.
I am kind of in a state of shock right now. I didn't expect this at all. I know it isn't the end of the world, but it is a lot to process.
