Osteopenia

After having seen my Rheumatologist, I found out that I don't have Osteoporosis, but Osteopenia. The latter means that my bone density is lower then what it is supposed to be, but not low enough to be classified as Osteoporosis.

As far as I am concerned that is a good thing, because the Osteoporosis I could have ended up with is discovered in an early stage and can be reversed with, yeah, you guessed it, the common medications to repair the bone loss. In other words: the pills I was taking previously.

The Prolia or Reclast she had intended to administer are not covered by our health insurance, due to the fact that it is not Osteoporosis and I haven't had any spontaneous fractures. So, back to the pills it is.

She gave me another brand which I am supposed to take once a week instead of once a month. We will see how that agrees with me and I am hoping for the best!

Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
