To those of you discussing osteoporosis, Prolia and Forteo, I encourage you to join the active discussions in the Bones, Joints & Muscles group. For example:
- Prolia treatment for osteoporosis https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/prolix-treatment-for-osteoporosis/
- Side Effects of Prolia https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/side-effects-of-prolia/
- Forteo vs. Tymlos https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/forteo-vs-tymlos-1/
- Treating Osteoporosis https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/hi-im-new-to-the-site-and-am-interested-in-treating-osteoperosis/
To return to the topic of smoking and quitting. @noreenbeth1963 @merpreb @harleymama @parus @contentandwell you all make great points about the challenges and emotions of quitting smoking and the importance of keep on trying and getting help from all sources, including a social network like Connect.
Have you noticed that the Smoking & Quitting group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/smoking-quitting/) leads to another site called BecomeAnEx? We did this because BecomeAnEX is a thriving community specifically to support people wanting to quit smoking. BecomeAnEX is a collaboration between the Truth Initiative and the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center (NDC). If you know anyone who is looking for help and support to quit, you might wish to suggest they visit https://www.becomeanex.org/

@colleenyoung Yep, I'm a "quitter" and so glad that I did manage to quit. I know I mentioned previously that being pregnant I had more incentive than I had before, but I also should have mentioned that it was a bit easier then because I had very frequent underlying nausea. That helped me to quit too. It isn't easy for most of us and for those who manage to do it without the incentives I had, I have great admiration. These days another incentive is the cost of cigarettes! I simply cannot imagine spending that much on them.
