methadose
Osteoporosis is a common condition where the bone becomes thin and fragile, creating an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is usually painless until a fraction takes place, and osteoporosis is a major contributing factor to bone fracture, including hip fractures, which are more common as people age. There are almost 2 million hip fractures annually around the world. While in the U.S.
I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism, and I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, I have tried several times to take calcium supplements within the guidelines when taking Synthroid, (more than 4 hours before or after taking med), and I become almost immediately exhausted, and sleep for 8-12 hours. I take only about 250 mgs of calcium, and vitamin D as well.
My doctor told me that I have Osteoporosis and wants me to try Forteo an injection for two years. Has anyone tried this drug and what were your side effects, if any. I don't want to make my stomach problems worse than there already are.
I have started mega doses of supplements and calcium and D and excercise and I want someone to tell me that that has worked for them. Most comments I get is to take the drug because it's more effective. I can't believe everyone is taking bisphosphonates or other drugs like that.
Please let me hear from you if you see this!,,, Thanks, and hope you are doing well!

Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time. If you do not get enough calcium, or if your body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone production and bone tissues may suffer. As you age, calcium and phosphate may be reabsorbed back into the body from the bones, which makes the bone tissue weaker. And this happens with the bones of your entire body.

Hello Dear,
Connective tissue diseases are chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorders which can affect all connective tissues, i.e. joints, skin, muscles and blood vessels, and therefore have multiple effects on many different organs throughout the body. Although the commonest one is rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoporesis is not a connective tissue disorder,it may accompany a connective tissue disor

I have had fibromyalgia since a near fatal car accident 10 years ago. I am currently on Celexa and Methadone, and I have gained about 35 lbs. and I can't figure out how to stop it or why it is happening. My pain management doctor is a neurologist, and he just says it is a combination of the meds, menopause,not being as active, but he is not a diet doctor and his main concern is my pain. Is there another combination of meds that doesn't do this?
0 and TT4 around 4.5). Each SAT occurance, my iodine uptake was initially zero and TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies negative. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago with Dexascan results having Z-scores slightly below -2.5.
Recently I have been experiencing vague symptoms (fatigue, dry skin and hair, brain fog, etc.) that I attributed to recent menopause but my thyroid tests revealed the following:
TSH = 4.24 (0.34-5.60)
FT4 = 0.64 (0.62-1.12)
TT4 = 3.9 (4.5-12.
The difference is detoxing is very quick and tapering is a more slow and comfortable way of getting off Methadone! Before u decide to start u need to make sure u r mentally and physically ready! Don't let anyone tell u how fast to go down. U also have alot going on that i have never dealt with and let me say, i am so sorry u r going thru all of this! I am going to do some checkin and get back to u. I promise.
He said I probably have osteoporosis. I have to have another one done in a month to see if the prevlimid worked and I am worried about the same thing happening. Where else besides the hip can they do it?
Are you on med for your osteoporosis? I've had osteopenia for quite a few years and have been on a dosage of calcium and have actually begun to turn it around and rebuild some of the bone I had lost. I'm not sure that can happen with full blown osteoporosis or not, but it might be worth looking into.
I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and have noticed that recently I have a lot of pain in my teeth and jaw. This has prompted me to wonder if osteoporosis affects the teeth in general as they are inbedded in bone? And how so?
HOW CAN I SUE DEPO PROVERA WHICH I WAS ON FOR 8 YEARS AND BY AGE 25 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE OSTEOPOROSIS AND I AM 29 NOW AND CONTINUE TO BREAK BONES IN JUST SIMPLE ACTIVITIES. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND CANT FIND ANY ONE TO TAKE THE CASE?
