Hi Hileena,
The OP appointment will be fine and even beneficial if it is anything like my appointments. I asked my doctor if I could be referred to someone after I received the latest dexa report. I was not happy that I had been taken off the medication I had been on previously and told I did not need to take any OP drug anymore.
On seeing the doctor he agreed that I DO need an OP drug and I was adamant which one I wanted and after checking out my BP with a 24 hour monitor he agreed.
I saw him a year later and will see him again in just under 6 months. I am very happy to continue seeing this doctor in the endocrinology department. Actually it was this doctor that had written the report of my latest dexa. Just goes to show, doesn't it, that on paper scans can look very different from actually seeing the patient and having a discussion with them about their health in general.
I am so relieved that I did not just accept what was in the report because it was written by someone in a medical team.
Love

Hi Hileena,
When I say doctor, I mean a doctor in the endocrinology department whom I see regarding my osteoporosis.
