Hi Billye:

I cannot believe that she will NOT call you back. I would think she would want to refer you on, so you can get help quickly...

If you can't get an appointment with Dr. Sakhaee right away, maybe that wonderful Rheumy you see can get him to squeeze you in... He seems to really want to help you.

Meanwhile, I can't see where I might have posted this, but in case you need to know, Dr. Sakhaee likes to see a bone density done at the same place previous ones have been done for comparison. He said that it is hard to compare bone density studies when they are done at different places... If you had some recent ones done to compare, when you go for the appointment, it would probably save some time.

He wanted all recent bloodwork and also a pathology report for a kidney stone I had some time back. I don't know what he would ask for, since you are on Forteo. Maybe LizaJane knows...

Actually, I don't think most doctors around here do much looking for the "whys," they just prescribe stuff like we all have taken, like Actonel...

Michael Moore could make a great movie out of the frustrations we deal with having chronic health problems...
