hi,
U were diagnosed to have Osteoporosis. This may be a symptomatic presentation of hemochromatosis. 25% of patients present with Osteoporosis and about 40% patients present with Osteopenia ( more severe Osteoporosis).
Pls do not worry . Just continue your treatment for osteoporosis and at the same time do continue calcium and vitamin D.
