Default Re: Osteoporosis

NJ,

I started on osteoperosis medication about 8 years ago and Im happy I did. I have had no side effects that Im aware of and Im still very active.One thing my doctor told me to do along with the meds is take a calcium supplement daily. I take caltrate twice a day.

I do feel good knowing that I am doing the best possible thing I can for my "old bones" "future. I too was a little resistant when told I needed to go on Osteoperosis meds and said "but doc, I feel fine" his reply was Great! lets keep you that way.!
