Thanks for asking Barefoot. No decision yet.....too many other health issues going on at the moment. I have been seeing a lot of dr's lately and they all say I really need to start. I take the calcium, D, K2 and am also on the estrogen which helps bones. I have osteoporosis in part of the hips and osteopenia in other parts. I can't scan my spine due to too much hardware. As village PL mentioned, I do eat a lot of acidic foods...tomato and cucumbers every day for sure. I'm still researching and not convinced yet that I want to add another nasty med into my already messed up self.
I moved here 1 1/2 years ago in pretty good health......I've been going down hill ever since.....one thing after another. I've met more dr's, nurses and spent more hours in medical office waiting rooms than I did in my whole life.
