osteoporosis and me

[silent_amanda]

The dr just called and told me I have early stages of osteoporosis. They said that my bones are thining.

I am only 28 years old. They told me I am to take 1500mg of calcuim a day now and to start walking a lot.

They will redo the test in 2 years.

 They are always pushing the calcium but bones need other things, too--like vitamin D.   It helps your body use the calcium. You are too young for thinning bones!  Good luck to you!
