Hello all~
It's a new year and hopefully a great one for us all.
Well...to catch up...I'm now 79....feeling really well these days. I have some mid back pains in my days..but, somedays none at all. I haven't had another Dexa..maybe soon. I have not seen an endocrinologist, but have an appointment with my NP in March and will ask her about that.

I have been taking Codeage collagen every morning, along with 6 Bone-up caps a day along with all my regular supplements. and stonthium. I also started taking Saw Palmetto..as I see that there is no harm to women taking this supplement and wow...I feel ever so much better adding this in. I also got rid of my trampoline and got a treadmill....that's been a wonderful addition! I'm up to almost 30 minutes a day on it and go from walking to light jogging on it..getting my heart rate up to 120+. Right now I'm snowed in..so having the treadmill is wonderful as I can't get out of where I live right now...When I do go out...and can walk..I still use my walking sticks and love being out in nature.
I've noticed since I've been using the treadmill..that I have more energy to walk and run errands..and have little to no pain these days...also sleeping much better!! I use my infrared belt when I do get back pains...boy does this ever help!! Wearing it for about 30 minutes..takes all my discomfort away....and I stand on my vibration plate..at its lowest vibration for 15 minutes. For my bone on bone knees...I've also added turmeric to my daily supplements...which has made a big difference!
I'm feeling very well these days...and hope that more of you are as well. I was always active in my life and now feel that feeling again of being strong and more youthful. I have my 'strut' back!
I chose not to do any of the 'drugs' for my osteo....but have upped my intake of veggies along with more 'clean' proteins...and exercising.
There are many ways to deal with our aging process...so whatever you feel comfortable with..please do. I know we can get stuck and feel that nothing will help us..but that's not true at all...I've made changes and can feel the benefits of these changes.
Bless you all..and lets begin this new year with hope and commitment to better days ahead.
