Had a bone density scan yesterday. They called today I have osteoporosis. Have to go get bloodwork in the AM. They're looking to see if I'll have to take more drugs including injecting myself with testosterone. Said I'm liable to break a hip if I fall and I fall alot. Well, on the upside maybe Willy the One Eyed Wonder Worm will respond quicker and more often. A good thing at 60yrs of age.

Dang, Gut, sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you won't need a lot of meds/treatments for a "turnaround."

Sorry to hear Gut, but way to keep your chin up, hopefully it's a simpler fix than what you have already gone through, will say a prayer for you and yours.

They just put me on some new drug for the same thing .It's suppose to increase bone strength .Arthritis is eating me up .

Don't be sorry. It is what it is. Just have to deal with it. Cest la Vi. After my accident there was about a five day period where wether I lived or died was a 50 50 proposition. And we know how that turned out. HE77 sixteen months after; I shot a buck with a bow FROM my treestand on the bow opener. So don't be sorry for me. Cheerleaders is what I could use in spirit of course BUT if I'm on testosterone maybe in reality ROFLMAO! I accept and deeply appreciate your prayers for me even if you're Muslim. God is God. He has a plan for me I just have to find what it is.

You are living it my brother and friend !!!!!

Tomorrow A.M. when you wake up, do what I do: look outside at the begining of a new day and just say thanks for the challange of facing another day. I just smile.
Hope you'll be around to see more of them.

The other alternative suck... looking at grass roots 6' under.

Gutpile, sorry to hear that. Not for sure what drugs they are going to prescribe to you. I would stay away from some of them, the side effects are worse than what you are experiencing. I work for a major pharmaceutical company. i would suggest drinking whole milk, straight from a dairy farm if you have any around you. You will have a little bit of weight gain. But the benefits of non pasteurized milk are amazing.

Hang in there gut. We'll see what we can do about those cheerleaders for ya. Will the geriatrics squad do?
