Osteoprosis!!!!

[OneBallBoi (imported)]

I am being treated like am a leper because I have Osteprosis by the dental community.. Has anyone else experienced this? They tell it is dreadful and terrible and really make you feel like you are a leper. I am so flustrated by them treating this way.. Anyone else experience this?

No dentist ever asked about that and of course I never mention any health issues to a dentist. If it doesn’t pertain to my teeth then it’s none of their business

Weakening of the bone of the mandible is a known (though rare) side effect of Fosamax. Your dentist is probably being over cautious. My suggestion would be to telephone the university School of Dentistry nearest you. They should be interested in your case for teaching purposes and you would get first-rate care at a lower price than your regular dentist. You'd just need to put up with a student or three getting their hands in your mouth.

A dental school is a good option - I get all my dental work done at the U of Minnesota Dental School. See my PM I just sent to you, Ralph.

Now for the whole story which I am sure will make you smile. I am so flustrated right now over my general practioner and my dentists.

I was trying to handle some dental work. A crown tooth broke off while I was flossing back in mid August. I went to a dentist to see about getting the root extracted. The dentist quizzed me at length about my Osteo. He started with telling me that Osteo and Fosamax are really bad things. He then quizzed me about how many bones I had broken in the last 5 years. I told him none. He said On come now tell the truth, you have Osteo, so are are suppose to have bones broken every single year. He asked when the last time I had a broken bone and I told him in 1959 I broke my nose. He had to know all the particulars about how, when, where, how, why and more about the broken nose in 1959, like he felt the 1959 broken nose was an effect of my Osteo.. The he spotted my thumb which I had cut half of it off in an accident and had to know who, when, where, why, how that happened, like he wanted to call that as a because of my osteo..

Then he gives me a form to take to my general practioner, who refused to allow the extraction.

Now this tooth was a root canal tooth, so back in August it had very sharp edges and irritated me greatly.. Plus it had these wires that hung down in my mouth and when my tongue played with them it hurt right the tip of the root of the tooth..

It has been a 6-7 weeks now and my tongue has smooth out the edges and the wires are more laid down now and less of an irritant.

I guess becoming a Eunuch is not such a great idea anymore. The dentist community sure does seem to make a great deal of osteo. To them it is an evil and terrible thing. I guess in their mind we should be cursed. In all honestly, I feel like they think I am a leper with leopsy and should be begging at the edge of the city. One thing I have learned for sure, don't tell your dentist any of your medical information. They do not need to know and tell them will only cause you more trouble down the road.

For those of you who do not know anything of the Bible. A person who had leprosy, as people walked by they yelled, "Unclean, Unclean." And that is how Forward Dental is making me feel, because of my Osteo I am unclean, a real leper.

I'm seeing an endocrinologist about general health and she's particularly concerned with osteoporosis, so I'm due for a bone scan shortly. I told her my whole story of how I came to have low T and that I'd never want HRT with T. She is constrained to only proscribing T because estradiol isn't "indicated" for someone born male who isn't transitioning to female (I did that mentally but am fine presenting male). She's very sympathetic, so I'm hoping that if I do experience early signs of bone loss and if I refuse T, that she'll be able to put me on E. A low dose of E should arrest bone loss and that's all I need to retain my feminine characteristics. I already told her that I'm happier than ever now that T is low.

Low level estrogen is available quite readily from Inhouse Pharmacy relatively inexpensively. I get a 3 month supply of 2 mg tablets for about $70US, shipped by US Mail.

I've known OneBallBoi for quite a few years and even had breakfast with him this morning. I have been castrated for over 12 years now. I am have mild osteopina but osteoporosis has been avoided because I also take 2 mg of estrogen most every day, the trade off is now that I have modest breasts. I use AllDayChemist for my estrogen as it is less expensive than Inhouse.
