Damn, I am gutted.
Went for a dexa scan and it appears that I have osteoporosis.
Although I've been having regular period till last year, I must have been peri for some years which my gp didn't put two and two together. He doesn't recognoise dizzyness as one of the meno symptoms so I'm not suprised though.
Does anybody take medication for Osteoporosis? How long will it take for the density to go up? Or will it ever??
In the meanwhile, I've got a contraceptive pill prescribed. My GP said mini pill would be safer but I asked for combined pills as I had both estrogen and progesteron and something tells me that I should have both, not just one.
I feel sick and old all of a sudden now. Mind you, some women had to go through it already in their 20s, 30s etc..
Men have no idea what we go through out the life span.
Luckily, I am seeing an osteopath soon so I can show him the report.
May be he'll put a good words into my gp who is not all that helpful.
Some advice.
