[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 76923, member: 696"] I'm sorta sad. [img]:sad:[/img] I had my follow up with my PCP today and we reviewed all my labs and my dexa scan. My mother who is 81 has severe osteoporosis. I'm 49 and my spinal portion is showing beginning osteopenia. My hip is ok but she doesn't want it to get any lower. My lab showed a low vitamin D level. (And I'm from FL [img]:smile:[/img] ) So....I have to take 1500mg of calcium. She recommended Citrical or Caltrate in divided doses. 1800mg of vitamin D as well. Weight bearing exercises. Age just sort of comes up and smacks you in the face, doesn't it [img]:thumbsdown:[/img] [/QUOTE]
