I took a vacation
And my bone density got worse. It went from t -2.2 to t -2.6 in the lumbar spine.
I have a family history of osteoporosis so I shouldn't have taken the drug vacation but I felt the drug was bothering my GI tract and tried to get my PM on board with moving to Forteo before a test indicated this decrease in BMD but she stalled and said we had to wait until I got another test and then it would have to be significantly worse re my BMD before I could take Forteo re criteria for which it was presribed and paid for by insurance.
So in my case it appears that's what a vacation of a year did for me...
