We know that some AEDs (probably most do) can interfere with bone formation or vitamin D and calcium absorption.
Many have had deal with low bone density and osteoporosis. I have a question about osteopenia / osteoporosis. If one has low bone density, is it more typical to see low bone mass "across the board" or do some vertebrae have it while others are "normal?"
In my case, I have one particular vertebrae, the L4, that is lowest, while the upper back is normal in some places. I thought this was just how it was, but an endocrinologist I saw made it sound like he didn't understand why it would be low in one place and not another (as though that were unusual). It honestly made me question if I should even bother with him anymore if he didn't know more about this.
So what do the CWE people say? It is it more typical for "across the board" bone loss, or can it show up in just one or two places quite often as well?
