Hey Ladies - do you know your T-score? Back in March of 2006 I stepped off my porch, rolled both ankles and broke a bone.... shouldn't have broken anything...
Some things however are blessings in disguise. If not for my freak fall I might not have known that at 43 I already had a 21% bone loss. That is only 4% away from a diagnosis of osteoporosis!
So if you are 30 or over and know you don't get enough calcium in your diet - do something now! I am taking fosamax plus a supplement recommended by my Dr., (Caltrate 600 plus) twice a day. Hopefully my next T-score will be lower than 2.1. They say we can rebuild bone... - will be posting my new T-score(after two years on the calcium and fosamax) sometime in the fall of 2008.
No more falling for the breakable me
Got Milk??
