Steroids and Osteoporosis
I got results of A DXA (short for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan today from my GPA medics confirming borderline Osteoporosis caused as a side effect of Pred --- can you imagine the shock--- warned not to overdo exercise which may cause fractures, recommended to take D3 + Calc (more f*** pills) they reduced Pred from 20mg to 15mg ASAP and to 12.5 in 4 weeks.
Muscles already weakened and now this.
Am losing weight down to 61kg.
Has anybody else got Osteoporosis or brittle bone and what has been the outcome????
All best
Stephen
