Brittle Bones

Well I have a lab update for you all...my bone test that I did right before Christmas came back today. It turns out that my docs were right, I do have severe bone loss. I have osteoporosis in my back and osteopenia in my hips. I believe she also mentioned small fractures in my lower back. No wonder I have pain! My new endo in NYC will have to decide whether or not I should get treatment for it or what they are going to do. It probably depends on my surgery date and stuff but hopefully they can do something since my bones are my grandmother's age.

I should watch that I don't fall and that I do not put too much stress on my bones. Looks like no marathon for me anytime soon. All quite ironic since my grandmother just had her hip replaced this week...must be the time for it. My doc did say that I shouldn't have ti with my prior history of working out and diet with lotsa dairy...so this really is just another sign of Cushing's...

I'll let you know what they say and when I get more results back...
