Default Osteopenia & osteoporosis?

Hi everyone,
I received a call from my GYN this morning. I had a bone density test last week and she said it showed osteopenia in my left hip and osteoporosis in my lumbar spine. I am shocked by this. I had the test done is 2008, right before I got sick, and it showed a little bit of something in my left hip. Nothing to be worried about.

I'm shocked because I never thought I would get osteoporosis due to many many years of exercising and being very healthy about my life.

Just another thing to add to my list!

My meds are
Cymbalta
Tramadol
Synthyroid

Supplements:
Krill oil
R lipoid acid
Coq10
Probiotic

I gave up calcium and vitamin D two years ago after the results of my hair analyses showed my calcium levels were really high. I had that test done by my shiatsu therapist. As for D, I drink a a glass of almond milk every morning. I am outside all the time when it is nice out. I stopped this when my doctors at Hopkins told me to stop all vitamins they were not necessary. I know I had my levels checked several times and D was good.

My questions:
Could any of my meds or supplements cause this?
Could this have anything to do with me getting neuropathy? Could this be caused my having neuropathy?

Any answers will be appreciated.

I'm also going to do research just thought I check with those I consider the experts first!
