Neither happy nor unhappy is it worth another strop at the doctors? I have diet advise, 2 colonoscopies and ibs was the diagnosis

Only you can decide that, but I hope it won't take a strop to be heard.  What you've told us about your nutritional deficiencies, fast throughput of food & the slightly abnormal TFTs makes me feel someone should be helping you sort it all out.

Spine z score 3.3
Left femur 1.9
Right femur 2.2

Are these - scores (minus) rather than +?  Is another DEXA planned?  There are some links here that explain the scoring system.  I have mild osteopenia, but my Endocrinologist has to ask my GP to arrange scans for me.

No they are definitely plus the operator/sonographer/details person was really shocked she said I had the bones of a 25 yo which after the previous one seemed a bit odd

Both were private, and the gp says my score is too high to have another on the NHS

Everytime I want treating for something it gets blamed on cfs or fm or ibs and they shrug and say well what can you expect so it's always a fight, even getting a physio for tennis elbow took 4 appts and 4 offers of antidepressants before I met a physio at a party

Crumbs  , that's pretty good with your bones then.  I'm sorry it's been so difficult for you to be heard on the other issues though.

It's quite funny ever Dr says +3 that's good and 90% of nurses say +3? That's really odd I wonder why...
