I'm gonna ask 'cause I've had them happen to me...related or not..key testing wasn't done at key times to 'tie it all up with a bow'.
Hate to ask, but have you had any basic cancer blood panels done? I ask, not to scare, but to get it eliminated. My blood panels weren't done for such from the get go...but when done after finding a 'lump' -the work up showed a definitely THERE result. Since such insidiousness can lie low for 5-7 years [one learns soo much after the fact?] it can wreak havoc until tested.. Possibly a PET scan could totally eliminate the possibility there and give you peace...while some insurances consider PETS still 'experimental' [dinosaurs!] the companies that do them offer financial support if needed.
The other question relates to Thyroid...[yeah, I am getting on a soapbox here as well?] only because of the thyroids role, and the parathyroid [as in Cathie's case] in the Bone health processes. All along I kept asking ...Could my hypothyroid be an issue...answer NOPE! Guess what...It could be now that I'm diagnosed with Hashis'...Again since key tests werent done at key times....hard to connect the dots. For me, it was the Auto-immune thyroid test. My #'s were disturbingly high [to me] but I've read of others with #'s dramatically high. When the basic TSH, T-3, & T-4 #'s were totally standard [probably because of 'proper meds']. Well, just some things to reconsider, as I am sure you have. I surely don't want to see YOU, good person, learn the harder way...after the fact. Golly, you are getting me thinking - HUMM I'd really like to try and pick up a 2x4 and start swinging? Denting something would feel soo empowering about now! - Good thoughts [none damaging to you!] !!!! = j
