Hi Claire -

Good to see more info for you...and for others, too. I also found out, 4 years or so ago, that I have osteopenia, so I also need to get more serious about how to help my gut absorb more calcium...

Oh, about this type of medium making it easier to share our stuff than in-person contact - I agree - it is good to be able to focus on our issues, without the 'noise' of in-person social interactions...and to also be able to do so when we feel up to it.

Fondly,

Gina

Good to 'see your face' again. I am sure everyone misses hearing from you. I will send you some osteo tips 'off forum' as it does tend to take others off topic. Claire
