Another Diagnosis to add to the Mix

I received a letter in the mail today from my PCP (not my rheumy) regarding the Bone Density test that I had done a bit ago. First my rant...why send a letter to your patient to say that there is something wrong? What ever happened to the phone call? I know some doctors make them b/c my rheumy does, whether it's good or bad news. Oh well. She (rheumy) also doesn't wait over a month after the test to tell me what the results are from a test.

Anyway, that rant is over. So, I have bone loss in both hips and am at risk for hip fractures. I have Osteoporosis. Nice, another side effect of the prednisone.
