Has Anyone Else Ever Tripped Over The Back Wheel Of Their Rolater?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Darien Center, NY

Has anyone besides me, using a rolater tripped over one of the wheels? I got the one with the larger wheels because it says it's better for uneven terrain. I live in an old farmhouse, dirt and gravel driveway, lots of dips and bumps in the lawn. I don't always use it around the house because as long as I have something to grab onto if my knee buckles or I lose my balance, I'm good. I always have it nearby in case I need it
Anyway, yesterday was the third time I have tripped over the large… read more

How Have Others Fared On Evenity? My Specialist Is Just Starting Me On It.

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

From what my specialist explained it is still relatively new and may cause some serious side issues. I have not improved at all on Prolia, so now I am being started on the injections to see how I go with them.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Stay away from Prolia! That is what is causing your fatigue. My endochrinologist advised me to just stop all osteoporosis meds and just do the plant based supplements with calcium, Vitamin K and D3… read more

Would like to connect with anyone who has used a weighted vest. Thanks

A MyOsteoTeam Member

With osteopenia, I wouldn't be too concerned, but I would caution anyone with osteoporosis of the spine about wearing a weighted vest and bending over and back up again. Especially if you are bending… read more

Do You Have To Take Unsafe "bone-building" Drugs To Stop Osteoporosis From Getting Worse?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Anderson, SC

I have had osteopenia for a few years, but for about a year now, I have to take hydrocortisone daily for adrenal insufficiency. My last dexa scan 2 months ago shows I now have osteoporosis. I take 5000 units of D3, k2, boron, and magnesium daily. I dont have a rheumatologist anymore because I fired her about a year or so ago. She wasn't helping at all. What else can I do?

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Diet, exercise, and a positive attitude goes a long way. Stay on what you are taking. Blessings upon your journey 🤗

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Since I have osteoporosis, I have learned how important it is to take really good care of my teeth. When I am at home, I floss "and" brush after "every" meal or snack. I use a water pick every… read more
