OMG! If he saw my history of steroid use, he would really be shocked. I think I had around 10 rounds of high dose steroids over the course of about 2 years. I never did any low dose. I have documented osteopenia from it. My neuro makes his patients who have had a lot of IVSM get bone density scans.
My understanding of osteopenia is that it is the precursor to osteoporosis and has nothing to do with age. They told me it is about the degree of bone thinning - kind of two different stages. You can have either at any age.
Oh, where do I line up for the slapping of this PA???
