To answer the first question, I see an endocrinologist. My primary or my gynecologist could manage it, but they both have other things on their plates. This is the most serious diagnosis I’ve ever gotten, and I wanted a doctor who’d be focusing on it.
I’m on a two-year run with Fosamax right now. All of my doctors badgered me for several years before I reluctantly gave in. The endo promised me a holiday if my numbers this November are better than they were in Nov 2013.
