I seem to tire more easily. Is this part of having osteoporosis
I think pain makes us tired. I get so tired and depressed at times. Listening to music is helpful
I have constant pain upper back
I refuse the meds. Anything else i can do
Isn't it odd that almost all the doctors are ready to handout prescription medications for anything that is wrong with us, INSTEAD of telling us that we must eat better and get the proper exercise or physical therapy to help our conditions??? I wish we had good and caring doctors who followed the oath they made, when they became a doctor.
so true Pam!

Thanks London for your information I am still looking into everything as I have not long been in out of hospital again x
What is vitamin K2 I have never heard of it
I'm afraid of doing anything except walking and swimming for fear of hurting myself, but I get bored with these. My osteoporosis is mild in my spine and moderate in my hips. I've had two crush fractures. My back can be extremely painful. I've tried Pilates and yoga, but some of the excersises really hurt my upper back, so I end up not doing anything! I used to love cycling, but I've lost all my confidence and can't balance anymore as I'm so scared of falling off.
Try chair yoga.

Forteo was covered by insurance. Be aware it is not a cure. My osteoporosis came back.
Does anyone take Calcium supplements with Prolia? I can hardly tolerate the calcium supplement side effects, including extreme constipation. Is getting Calcium from your diet enough??
And 3 x prunes a day gives you 3mg of boron which is essential for bones.
I was diagnosed today. I haven’t stopped crying. I have been a very healthy person. I’m scared after reading about the side effects of all those medications. I wonder if there are people who have decided not to take any medication and treat it just with a good diet and exercise. Is that a good idea?
Thanks,
Hi Vivian, I don’t take meds except the calcium tablets proscribed by Doctor, I take long walks most days eat plenty of fruit & vegetables & usually do Pilates 4 mornings a week, I’ve not long come… read more
