Do you know young people with osteoporosis? / myLot

August 24, 2019 7:31am CST

I might have osteoporosis, even if I am 28 years old. Maybe I am old. My dentist and doctors believe that I have a severe illness that causes me to lose all my teeth. I can't believe that I lost my teeth. My parents still have their own teeth, my brother has his teeth. It's not genetic. The cause is severe illness or medicine for depression. Can young people have osteoporosis? Do you know young people who have it? And if you do what are their symptoms? I will make a test, but until then I want to know if it's possible.

Yes, young people can get osteoporosis. It is called juvenile osteoporosis, and it is a rare disease. I have never met anyone who had it. Sometimes juvenile osteoporosis is caused by another illness and sometimes it is not possible to find out what causes it, but it is something you should discuss with your doctor.

@dya80dya Yes, children can get it, but I am not sure how old they are when it starts.

Does juvenile osteoporosis appear on children? I will make a test as soon as possible. I am worried because everyone thinks I have osteoporosis.

@Moon24 Oh, no. And what did she do? Did she continue to take antidepressants? This is very serious. She is the same as me.

Hi. Osteoporosis is a bone disease usually found in older people. For a much younger person, it is rickets. 28 seems quite young for osteoporosis but nothing is impossible. I'm sorry to hear you lost your teeth though, but all isn't lost.

@dya80dya Osteoporosis can also be caused by a lack of calcium and vitamin D. So dairy products should be included in your diet, also green leafy vegetables and exercise.

Teeth can be replaced, but not bones. What is rickets? Is it another kind of osteoporosis?

@dya80dya I am so sorry, I wonder if this is caused by the medication you take.

@LadyDuck It's very possible. I hope I will find out soon what caused it. Antidepressants affect our bones and they lead to implant failures. I just find out this information. I can't wait to have the test for osteoporosis done.
