In a funk. Had high hopes for my bone density test today. Turns out now I have Degenerative Scoliosis along with Spinal Stenosis, Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Osteoarthritis, Spondylolisthesis. See my Endocrinologist in April. I will wait for the facts before thinking too far ahead. Did Water Aerobics for the first time. Loved it. It was way out of my comfort zone, the thought of going. Good friend gently persuaded me. Also connected with a Weight Loss Buddy through a on line class I am taking. Sleep is whacked. 5 hours a night. Working on that. Feeling out of sorts but not caving. Spacey...behind on life it seems.But I have a husband who tells me how perfect and wonderful I am and how blessed he is to have me. How can I go wrong? Just miss my daughter. Came across a feed today that had her voice on it from 4 years ago. I had to save it because I really miss her voice. Damn Kim...why?

im so sorry about the results, hang in there!!! i do recommend a specific collagen supplement by Doctor's Best UC-2. i use it for my degenerative spinal Stenosis, and osteoarthritis for my knee. Its been nearly a year and works like magic. if i don't take it i end up with pain.

sorry about your diagnosis even if it was suspected it can be quite a hit. I know it's kind of hard sometimes to get past things I get a little frustrated about being blind sometimes. I understand 🙂 take bit it's okay to not be okay talk with your hubby about your feelings and have a good cry. See if it helps 🤔🤷. Hopefully Dazey_iz_Well's idea will also help you too! Good luck 🍀.

look into eating the carnviore diet this heals everything including increasing bone density. see you tube channels Dr Ken berry vds Carnviore for beginners, Electroyles, keto flu also see kelly hogan, steak and butter gal, shawn baker md podcast, homestead how and many others. Most of these have testimonies of all their healing. Library will have books on carnviore diet. Many will start off with keto diet you tube channels Dr Berg vds keto for beginners, keto flu, electrolytes and also Dr Eckberg and Dr Boz and then move to carnvore. take care

You have lots going on. Even with everything, you are taking care of you and counting your blessings with hubs. You may not feel it, but you are an inspiration.

You are going through so much! If tears of a stranger would only help, you have mine. Hold on and sink into the memories, the good ones. Breathe, remember her, smile for you had her with you for a while. You will always have that. Good days ahead. Take her with you when you step into the light of morning and move forward hand in hand with your husband with a smile on your face.

Pools are good for strengthening but they dont' help the osteoporosis. So need pool swimming for strengthening and the mind! and walking for osteoporosis - start at 5 minutes a day and slowing increase to 20 minutes a day (maybe in 2 month?). Also some light weights for osteoporosis - go to the PT web site: https://www.bobandbrad.com/ and look unter OSTEOPOROSIS. You will find helpful information. Best wishes on your healing journey. BABY STEPS.

I hear collagen is better for osteoporosis that calcium. I get a brand off Amazon call native path. Wishing you well!

Maybe I should look into collagen I know a lot of my medicines put me at risk for osteoporosis is one of the reasons why I'm prescribed folate along with a lot of my medicines. It would also help my hair and nails which I know are being damaged by some of my medications. I've never really done much with collagen because honestly a lot of these different additives powders seem really confusing not to mention expensive and seem to expire a little quicker than I would expect being a powder. Well I guess it's the Google for research...que sciencey music 🎶🎵.

Lessie and Leah, I use collagen powder and find it very helpful! I have auto immune issues and it really helps my joints and my hair and skin for sure. I definitely notice a difference. My advice is to do your research. I’ve tried a few different brands. I put it in my coffee in the morning.

Good so heat won't kill the properties of the supplement? Do you have any recommendations on any particular supplement brands to try and do they come in an unflavored version I don't like anything sugary I'd prefer something that I could just not taste it all preferably. My birthday is coming up and Mom might buy me some if I ask she's always ask me what for my for my birthday and I really don't have any requests. She doesn't give me money anymore cuz she knows I just spend on bills, LOL. It makes her so mad both her and Nana stopped doing it.

Leah, I use purely inspired collagen. It's got 0 sugers, 0 fat,and 18 grams of protein. I buy it off Amazon. It is unflavored as well. 💜 
21 Mar 24 by member: Diana 1234
Awesome thank you so much for the recommendation I'll check it out in the morning after I rest. Tomorrow's truck day which I'm not really looking forward to but what is must come. Have to make sure that Mom won't spend too much she's really bad for going overboard and spending too much. Which don't get me wrong I really appreciate but she's on a fixed income and I have to make sure that she doesn't spend too much. She always feed me some silly story like she loves me and I deserve it and that's not acceptable. Thanks again. ^^
