Osteoporosis Support

I have a friend who has this but she hasn't talked to me much about it. My gynocologist is doing free tests for it so I will be going later this month to be tested. My mom didn't live past 52 so don't know if she would have had it but I don't think any women in my family have had it.

So, stay tuned as they say....

I hope this forum will prove to be helpful to many who are seeking answers as well as to provide a place where those who have knowledge and/or experience can have the joy of helping others.

Tresya..you are a woman of courage. This is quite the challenge. Good luck to you..;~)

This will be a good topic to learn about. Osteoporosis from my understanding, is a condition where the bone marrow becomes more porous, less dense...hence the danger of fractures. The bones become more brittle.

Some of the treatments I hear of are exercise, vitamin D and calcium and hormone replacement therapy. I wonder if anyone knows of any herbs that are helpful?

Hi,

As you may know, menopause is the number one risk factor for osteoporosis. However, in a much less extent, men are also hit by the disease. So I hope this will be a forum not for women exclusively.

Waiting you to share your thoughts,
