My best hunch is that he will want to check my bone density again

after being at my optimum dose of Armour, but perhaps not. I will let

you know what the doc says when I see which may not be for another

month. My understanding is that Armour will protect us from this

problem. How long have you been on Armour and at what dose?

Just curious, see_dona, do you take your Armour sublingually? I'm just

wondering about the benefits of the calcitonin in the armour. They say

stomach acids destroy the calcitonin, so I'm wondering if sublinlgual

dosing might be beneficial as far as osteoporosis is concerned. There

is a medication out for osteoporosis called miacalcin. It is calcitonin

delivered via nasal spray. If you are dosing sublingually and have been

all along, then you are getting the calcitonin and that theory is shot.

- osteopenia & Dr. Woliner

I'm in the same category as you with this, . My first complete

bone density test was 2 years ago w/dx of 'beginning osteopenia.'

Had another one last month....osteopenia had progressed fairly

rapidly. For the past 30 years I have done all the right things re

calcium, vigorous weight bearing exercise, etc. but have the BIG 3

strikes against me: small boned, caucasian female, family history. I

do not trust my local doc or my docs at Cleveland Clinic for

intelligent recommendations & information. I refused the Fosamax Rx &

am eagerly awaiting your report on Dr. Woliner's point of view on

this.

So glad you are making progress. Be well.

Also be aware that most docs will not let you get to your optimal

dose, because an optimal dose, which will get your free T3 at the

top of the range, if not slightly over, will heavily suppress your

TSH. And a suppressed TSH scares the begebees out of docs who are

very ignorant. Fight for that dose.

Don't worry about Dr. Woliner not letting us get to an optimal dose of Armour.

I've been with him since April and we're going for the gold! I'm getting really

close now, I think, and he's right there cheering me on! He doesn't care about

TSH.

That's good to know. I will definitely talk to him about it.
