@lioness. Thanks, Linda. Up until this injury I was doing all of that. I was using 10 pound weights and about to increase that. I did start taking calcium with vitamin D too. I have been doing a lot of research and I have read that although swimming and walking are great for overall conditioning and cardio they don’t help bone strength much at all!

At this point I think Tymlos may be the best drug for me but I of course will be discussing that with the doctor when I get to see her which probably won’t be until December. I asked to be on the waiting list, and I will be, but the person I spoke to told me there’s a very long waiting list. I am sure I could see someone sooner if I chose to go to a doctor up here but this whole thing has been the last straw in my losing confidence in most of the doctors up here, so I will see a rheumatologist at MGH. It is very upsetting to think that my PCP, who is highly regarded by other doctors, let this fall through the cracks.

I do think I will look into the bone broth you mentioned. I am sure that it can’t be something that my transplant team would say I should not use but I will, as always, check with them first. Some of the restrictions are very surprising.
