Today was the last of a series of follow-ups with specialist, this time with the Endocrinologist to check on my bones. Everything went fine, nothing much to say though since any change in bone density doesn't become apparent in months, but rather in years. So it'd be in about a year when they would make another bone density scan to check how things are doing.
They said they're going to have a more secondary role, and apparently things were not as horrible as they would have me believe before. So, they decreased my calcium intake (from 3,600 mg/day to 1,200 mg/day, that's two pills instead of six), and also my vitamin D intake from 50,000 units a week, to 1,000 units a day. I'm also to start taking Fosamax.
So that was it for the Endocrinology consult. Pretty uneventful otherwise.
