Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

@lioness. Please explain what calcium citrate "1200 mg split in two" means exactly. I, too, have osteoporosis and have also refused any of the meds doctors have urged me to take. I also have only one kidney stage 3(b) and diabetes, so I have avoided vitamin supplements, but maybe I should reconsider. My dentist strongly urged me not to take these meds, and he's not steered me wrong yet. I am very interested in this discussion. My only advice? Wear good-fitting, safe shoes and do balance and strength-building exercises. Walk. I see folks walking so poorly in stylish shoes that are unsafe. If we don't fall, we won't break bones.

@trishanna Hi What I meant was take 600mg in morning and 600 at night . Since you are a kidney patient you should check with a CPKdietician on naturel meds. I take more then just calcium but I don't want to steer you wrong so find your CPK dietician in your area or talk with you kidney Dr. Either one can give you advice . There are so many different kinds of calcium and magnesium also . Vit D3 is important also so ask about all 3 . One exercise I like is leaning against the wall for strength building . Any strength building is o.k. I just like this one . Good luck come back and let us know what the Dr/dietician says. I'm interested in knowing .
