Why Oh Why am I revisiting this topic that began for me back at the end of January of 2017?
Does The Shadow Know?
Well.. it IS a legitimate medical issue and challenge.
And Yes Oh Yes, I have Osteoporosis and can speak having had experience with it.

OSTEOPOROSIS
Humm.. NATIONAL TODAY. I thought that my Male Osteoporosis was a long ago forgotten adventure.
It was indeed just that.. A long ago forgotten adventure.
Then yesterday, Monday the 19th, our new-to-us Doctor, placed an order for me to have a Bone Density examination to test me for Osteoporosis.
I sit sighing a long sigh!
I called the imaging department at our local Hospital and told them to take me off the calendar.
I then called my Doctor’s office and repeated to his office assistant what I had gone over with him in great detail during our appointment just last Friday.
I am not going to re-visit this issue. I completed a four or a five year regimen with both Mayo Clinic and Hong Kong doctors, and had absolutely no improvement what-so-ever.

A final tid-bit..
Dating way back to February the 28th of 2018, Patti and I were visiting a friend of hers in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her husband is a fellow senior citizen and an extremely brilliant PhD scientist at Los Alamos Laboratories dating back to the 1950’s.
He told me that.. “I was on Risedronate. It did nothing at all for me in regards to strengthening my bone density. BUT it did stop further degeneration. However I stopped taking it.”
