I found out how I broke my rib so easily!

I had a bone density test done for the first time yesterday. It shows I have osteoporosis and have an increased risk of fracture in my hip, and a high risk of fracture in my spine.

I started taking the Viactiv Calcium Chews last week. I imagine when my doctor (who is also my employer) sees the results of my test tomorrow, he'll probably put me on Fosamax or something similar.

Now, I feel soooo old!!!!

Debbie, I'm sorry! That's not good news to hear!!!

Yikes...I hope things turn out ok for you. I do not know anything about bone density, but I hope you can avoid broken bones in the future now that you know.

Bummer, Debbie! Time to up the calcium! I hope you like the Viactic chews. I really like them and feel like I am getting a treat when I eat them, and I can have them without feeling guilty (after all, they are filling me up with calcium!)

Wow! Hope you are boing better. Just goes to show how important calcium is for us. Keep me posted as to how you are doing.

Sorry about the bad news but at least you know what happened. Hopefully the calcium will work for you.
