Thanks for the advice. I have been on testosterone for about 5 years now. I have an excellent endocrinologist. I flew from Georgia to So Cal to meet him back when i lived in Georgia. He is the greatest for diagnosing endocrine problems especially those that are out of the ordinary.

I did my research for months to find him. All the endo's I saw in the Atlanta area told me i was fine. I have hypopituitarism and replace many hormones. I also have adrenal insufficiency.
I always wonder if the years of untreated endocrine disease created the low bone density.
I always drank my milk and take supplements now and every time my vitamin D is checked it is way high.
