You will probably have a difficult time getting a shot of Depo since the
FDA believes there is a connection between bone loss and long-term use of
Depo. Since I had been on Depo for 2+ years, my physician would
not give me another Depo shot until I got a Dexascan to see if I had any bone
loss. Guess what? I did. Don't know if the loss is
directly due to Depo but since I was 40 years old at time of my diagnosis I
believe it probably was the cause.
Personally, I think that Ridecamp is not the best place to seek or give
medical advice for people. The person who suggested Depo as a cure all
does not appear aware of the potential problems that may be associated with
Depo. And the sad news is that they (FDA) does not know if the bone
loss is reversible. Please seek medical advice from medical
professionals.
