Thanks, Christine. I didn't think that I had ever seen the subject on the forum. It is a pretty common condition for women my age, but I plan to really emphasize to my doctor that I cannot take the meds that are frequently prescribed for it. My teeth have held up so far, even though I have had a number of cavities, and I don't want to risk damaging them further. I don't know for sure that is what I have, but the fact that the doctor wants to see me after reading the results of my bone density scan, makes me fairly certain that's what it is. Hopefully I will be able to control it with diet and exercise.
