Lipedema pts on glp1 bone health
When you were put on a glp1, are you also taking bone density scans!?
I’m so scared of glp1, but my wedding is coming up, and the amount of pain and inflammation feels insufferable lately. Specifically I’m worried about bone health, esp as I approach peri menopause.
I do a lot of conservative things, within my means. And reasonably I don’t think I can do more without it hindering my quality of life. See below.
But my question is— do drs do bone density scans before and then periodically to ensure the glp1 is not causing another issue?
Also has anyone started a glp1, and stopped after a while but did not gain the weight back? I’m a
Normal weight, I’m just looking for an increase in comfort (my legs are heavy, big and swollen).
I feel like I could maintain a weight that’s 5-15lbs less than I am now.
(I’m stage 1-2?? And am relatively active—hiking , walking, gardening, cycling, lifting, yoga, Pilates, etc etc. wear compression socks daily, leggings when it’s cooler weather, summer is a struggle. And always when i travel. I eat incredibly anti inflammatory like 95% of the time, and don’t drink alcohol. I also do MLD every 2 weeks and I have a lymphatic pump I do about 5x a week or better.)
