Well actually as of right now I have osteopenia, very close to osteoporosis. I was diagnosed about a month ago & since then I have been taking at least 1500 mg of calcium a day to try & rebuild the lost bone mass.
Im only 25 & this was caused by the depo-provera, birth control shot, prolonged use of it anyways...8 years. Doc said if I didnt get off the shot & start taking calcium supplements I would be crippled in 10 years. Osteoporosis is usually in old people.
They say it can be reversed, but how long will it take to get the bone back, & does it always reverse?? Have you ever heard of someone so young having it?
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, I have been diagnose with several things in the past that "i am too young for", so Im kind of worried.
