Well, I've been off the osteoporosis drug for about a year and it's time to see if I'm holding my own just using supplements. Wouldn't it be a hoot if I actually have some improvement? Y'all swing some lizards for me. :)

DSr's osteo supplement plan spread out over the day:

3,600mg of elemental calcium citrate (capsule form)
700mg elemental magnesium citrate (capsule form)
15mg boron (tablet)
600mcg vitamin K2 (MK-7)
50,000IUs dry vitamin D3 7 days a week and 100,000IUs Mon, Wed & Fri
hormone replacements
tanning 8 minutes once a week
walking
leaning push-ups (need to do more regularly)

*Vitalady, PCP and surgeon's dietitian helped design this plan.

Good luck, I'll be swinging for a gain!!! 

I have to drive Chili in the cold this morning early so I can get cleaned up and make a 1:00 meeting in Asheville.  Then head to Raleigh for a CARF meeting tomorrow.  Meet there and home.  Yuck.  I'd rather be home but at least I have a friend to travel with.  Sometime work really gets in the way of my playing.

Wishing you good news!  In this case...I think a "gain" would be a good thing :).

I have my appointment tomorrow with the endocronologist about my osteoporosis.  I'm going to ask him about what I should be taking. 
I've been riding my bike since the weather has been nicer.  I haven't had a lot of time to ride it but I hope that changes.  I guess I must be out of shape because I am even more sore then usual, especially my calf muscles.  It has only been about a month since I worked out when my headaches started.  I am seeing the neurologist next week about the head and neck pain.  I feel like a big old mess.
I want to get back to the gym but the gym at the school is only opened short hours.  Since it's free I can't complain but on most days it's only open from 2 to 3 and it's hard to get there then.  On Fri and Sat it is open from 10 am to 2 pm.  I wish I could afford a gym that is open more.

Thanks, guys. I think the tech did a good job. She didn't just give up on my spine due to the screws in the lower part but took the scan and reading anyway. Got the hip and forearm too. Now I wonder if I should be getting the neck as well. Too much thinking.

A couple of days according to the tech. I want to ask my doc for copies of my own for this one and the last 2 or 3.

That is quite a plan.  I hope your scan shows great improvement.
