Hi Nan-
Was your PTH level high as well as high blood calcium? My endo actually called me back today (apparently he didnt like it when I told the nurse I didnt want to get Prolia shots.) Today he said my blood calcium levels aren't high when he factored in some other number because.....not really sure. He said because my PTH level was within normal range I dont have hyperparathyrodism. I just have osteoporosis for no reason other than early menopause. He wants to treat with Prolia or one of the other similar treatments. I am just cautious of another treatment and it's possible side effects. He did say I could continue taking calcium and vitamin D (although my D levels were fine), continue to exercise and wait a year or so and recheck bone density. I just dont know if I trust this doctor. Any thoughts? Comments?
