Back in my twentys when every one else was doing aerobics ,I was the girl in the corner with the free weights. Milestones for me were when I could press ( leg...

    I also was trying to stay off the osteoporosis meds as long as possible, but I am seriously considering them now My DEXA scan is coming up soon and if my score had changed significantly ( in the wrong direction ) I will strongly consider the meds

I am 58 years old , a diagnosed celiac ,I was diagnosised with osteoporosis 8 years ago. The past few times my doc mentioned osteoporosis meds I blew it off,, thinking I had time...

    that is what I said ken,lol I had an arthroscopy on the bad knee in Dec. Doc was able to " clean it up a bit" as he says. He cleaned up some of the arthritis and repaired some of the midiscus damage but the exposed bone is still an issue so maybe next year

    I have not been active in these forums for about the last year. When I tried to log in I could not find my account . ( so I created a new one.) My question is ; after being inactive for a period of time are accounts deleted ? or could I just not find my old account ? Thanks

    As usually I am late to the conversation Wondering what you guy think of this article :: Brush border enzymes are embedded in the tiny microvilli of the small intestine. The small intestine, with a surface area of roughly 250 square meters (think, tennis court), is where much of the digestive action in your gut takes place. On...

    Thanks Ken, I hope you heal well . I have been forewarned about completing the PT, my doc was very very graphic about what will happen if I dont I was in this same hosp last summer . The docs were fantastic about double checking my meds for gluten and soy . They put a band on me that said I was allergic (them calling it an allergy kinda pi$$es...

    My orthopedist is a very patient man . I saw him last summer he says full knee replacement I say no way, he says come back in 3 months . I go back in three months , he says full knee replacement this the only thing that will work , I say no way, he says come back in 3 months . I cancel that appt ( bad me lol ) but I finally go back to see him...

    Ninga you rock I was soooo very confused by my gene testing results that I just email my doc ( he is in Michigan and I am in Pa) and said someone translate this for me . email back was short and sweet; positive . Short and to the point works for me

    Yeap !! I can honestly say with out this forum and the information here I would have never gotten my diagnosis or well . It has been truly a life saver for me and many other. Mushroom ( miss her ♥ ) and Ravenwoodglass were the first to welcome me here ,, I will never forget them I am thankful daily for their advice ( and their patience with me )

    I have to agree Most people come to these forum to seek help ,information and move on. I am more of the exception then the rule
