This is a very interesting post. I am wondering if the osteoporosis always comes first? Or if the vertigo is somewhat of a warning system? Or if there are other elements that both osteoporosis and vertigo might have in common?
I have very strong bone density (tested within last year), but occasionally do have vertigo spells. My mother also has occasional vertigo spells, but we've never been able to attribute them to anything. However, her bones seem quite strong as well -- she fell (in an aerobics class, no less, at 80!) and didn't have any injury other than a bruise.
Is there a which comes first - the chicken or the egg -- element to this, when there is indeed a connection?
