[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 389186"] Has a bone scan or even a check for lupus been done? Susie is right, there are so many other things that express themselves in this way it's not even funny, and it doesn't sound like these docs have bothered looking into other possibilities. My xMIL had her jawbone deteriorating from a bone infection she got during a dental extraction when the bone got nicked, the infection embedded itself so well that antibiotics never could knock it out and it's been slowly dissolving ever since. There are extremely rare forms of cancer that present as bone loss, too. GI diseases that prevent proper absorption of nutrients needed to maintain bone. The list goes on. To say "If it's not this it must be your weight" without even looking for other causes is just.... *beats head on wall*. [/QUOTE]
