Osteoporosis. If you have osteoporosis, what are you doing to s

Kittle : Part of my decision to go with the annual Reclast infusion was that it was...annual! If I had any of the side effects other than the jaw one, it would only be for a very short time instead of every single week. My only side effect was feeling a bit like I had the flu for about a day. Endocrinologist told me to take ibuprofen preventively next time...

GiggleMugs :
That is exactly what I wanted to hear as I do not know anyone who has used a vibration plate. Amazon has a variety of them. It may be worthwhile for the known benefits and just pray it benefits osteoporosis. May I ask which one you have?

Kittle : My brother-in-law gifted it to us. You can see it is well-used! I don't see a brand name on it.

MissAmericanPie :
Thank you. So far every drug has serious issues for jaws and femurs. Exercise and calcium apparently are the safest. The vibration plates look promising.

oggie123 :
Weight bearing exercise is essential although its easier to exercise when you are younger. Lol

GiggleMugs :
Again, thank you. I am leaning towards getting one. The basic vibration may well be beneficial, some of the exercises could be a bit much for our age.

Kittle :
And, I'm sorry I forgot to thank you for the tip! Thank you! I think you will like the vibration plate!

Kittle :
I feel and understand for you Kittle. Unfortunately my body does not do well with Calcium, all of the many Kidney Stones I have had are from a Calcium buildup.

HappyinTX : Do you know how much itis?

golfshot :
Ooooohhhh those stones are painful! A counselor at a vitamin store recommended vitamin K2 to direct the calcium to bones instead of arteries. Calcium supplements have some issues however my doctor is highly recommending them. I am finding ways to increase calcium intake without supplements or at least minimizing supplements.

Kittle :
I have it and I am not able to take calcium pills because of kidney stones.

golfshot :
My problem as well. Kidney stone lodged in my kidney opening and I almost died with that.

Donnawisdom :
I reluctantly take calcium supplements sporadically as they can create issues. I am going to try one that includes vitamin K2. Have you considered a vibration plate? They can be quite expensive however there is a wide selection very reasonably priced.

Kittle :
I have had so many over the years, most are small. I had to be hospitalized twice. I don't care how tough you think you are when they get stuck the pain for a man is terrible. It will put you on the ground. I am not saying it isn't painful for ladies but oh my for a man.

Donnawisdom :
That sounds so bad and painful. I understand. Thank God you were able to get it taken care of. I once drove from Katy to KW in sooooo much pain. It was only by God's good grace I made it.
