Good evening @kstoller22, Welcome to Connect. I was so glad to see you telling us that you are new on this path. If you are speaking about the world of osteoporosis and all of its options and afflictions, we are all sort of new to this part of the aging process. Remember though that as we keep pushing the aging envelope higher and higher, we run into more and more of our body parts that encounter some roadblocks, and others that just need a lot of help from the food we eat and the exercises we do in hopes that we are doing our best to live a healthy life, rich on the quality side with family, friends, activities, and experiences and attentive on the quantity side to make sure we are doing everything we can to age peacefully and without undue pain and suffering.

As time passes we find that osteoporosis often creeps up and weakens our bones. There are quite a few different strategies to deal with this inadequacy. Some of us are on a natural path. Some of us need help from medications and supportive regimens. What we have been doing for the last few months is trying to get all of us to join together as we encounter different options and choices. It appears that we all will have to make some pretty major decisions. There is no one solution for all. There are medically trained clinicians who will help us learn about osteopenia and then osteoporosis. There are folks on Connect who will share their helpful stories.

What are you considering at this point @kstoller22? Would you be comfortable sharing more of your medical situation and whatever in your life has led you to this point?

May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.

Chris
