We have to be careful with our exercises and make tough decisions on whether to use natural treatments or use osteoporosis (OP) meds. Want to share your experiences, preferences, supportive healing ideas?

    Hi! I was just diagnosed with Osteoporosis two weeks ago. I’m returning to MFP to track my calcium and weight bearing exercises. I could use more support from others with osteoporosis - so feel free to friend me folks!

    I’m fairly young for this (just hit my mid-50s) - so my Dr. and I felt raloxifene was the way to go for me at this juncture. Just started a 100 Days of Tai Chi series to improve my balance and trying to walk 3 miles a day for some lower body weight bearing. I’m also vegetarian - and cook mostly vegan - so getting enough calcium has been a challenge in the past.
