It's very important that you remain proactive and research your illness whatever it may be. A year or so ago I requested a bone density scan from my dr. He stated I was too youn. Then I mentioned a recent study on epileptics and the anti-convulstants they take causing early onset that I had read about on the internet. He vaguely remembered reading/hearing about it so he requested the test. He actually thanked me and said that he would make a note to recommend the test for another patient he had who had epilepsy. Nobody loves me like I do :-) You’re right. It’s very important that you remain proactive and research your illness whatever it may be. A year or so ago I requested a bone density scan from my dr.
