@singingbones thank you for the video! I find Dr. Lisa Moore's videos and Facebook page very helpful and encouraging.
My doctor didn't even give me my diagnosis. I got a phone call from a nurse or a technician or something; I don't even know. She announced, "You have SEVERE osteoporosis in your spine and you need to contact your doctor" and that was it. It was a Friday afternoon so I couldn't talk to my doctor until the following week. It was terrifying. Handled very poorly.

@drterri - no wonder you went into a tailspin--that's totally unacceptable. My dr read off the statistics for premature death following a fracture. I understand that it's a statistical fact, but why is nothing offered except a bone drug? Why not a referral to a nutritionist, physical therapist and HRT dr?

I have made sure that my adult daughters are well informed on OP & how to be proactive in strengthening/challenging their bones. Hopefully the next generation won't have to fight this battle in the same way.

Thanks for the feedback
