Appointment with surgeon - after waiting for 90 minutes for him to even come in, the appointment was hopeful. If I can manage affording the medication, will do daily injections for 3 months to hopefully build bone. Then proceed with the complicated surgery. Then pray that everything that is done doesn't end up just collapsing because of the osteoporosis.

After a very long process of unsuccessful treatments and waiting for an appointment, I am seeing surgeon today to discuss a massive surgery to fix cervical spinal issues. The pain and ability to move my head normally is severely compromising my life. I have severe osteoporosis and I'm afraid he's going to say the bones aren't strong enough to attach the needed hardware.

At least I did get to plant some vegetables last night and I finally got my lettuce and lemon balm plugs in the soil and I enjoyed every minute. Basil, poblano peppers, nasturtium, dwarf sunflowers, cucumber plants, carrots, more edible flowers and marigolds were also planted. We’re trying the straw bale method this year and although we’re running behind, I am excited to see what survives and flourishes. We garden at night…too hot during the day (Gardening at Night is an old REM song; I believe it’s from the first album).
But, I am paying for it today. I keep having back to back shooting nerve pain in my right hamstring from all the bending. All the tension is causing a terrific headache. Aaaaargh! So, I am drinking some herbal tea I made the other day for my business (yummy stuff! 😋) and it seems to have lessened the frequency of the spasms, (I’m assuming?). Trying to avoid breaking into my emergency stash of old muscle relaxers and just keep it natural.

As I was trying to complete orders that I truly need to mail tomorrow, for my small-batch skincare business, I missed the last step of our stairs and sprained my ankle hitting my left hip - where the bulk of my osteoporosis is. On ice right now, and I am already extremely depressed because I feel like I’m falling behind and it’s perhaps never going to change. My suicidal thoughts are in full force (they were before this) and difficult to turn off. Just wanted to share because no one else in the world understands except you. I hope you guys are doing well and the Easter Bunny has been good to you 🙏❤️🌻

Tired of this life. There are moments that are beautiful, however. One thing no matter how small can send me spiraling downward. It’s so difficult to get back up from that descent.
I’m tired of trying to have hope. I’m really - just tired. Love to all of you on this beautiful day. 🙏

Hi, my name is Isaiah4110. I'm worried about where my diagnosed health challenges as well as severe osteoporosis with spine fractures and chronic constipation will lead me as I get older. I am 66 years old but feel much older as I am able to do less and less and the Fibro pain is like waves of the ocean, sometimes quiet, sometimes like a violent storm, but always there. I cannot take the medications traditionally prescribed for my illnesses nor do I tolerate pain meds. I have medicinal cannabis through my state’s Theraputic Cannabis Program. I take edibles as I have asthma and do not smoke any substance. I guess I just would like to hear from others who have similar struggles.

With your doctors help, it's usually a good idea to supplement with vitamin D. A ton of evidence shows a link between MS and deficiency of vitamin D. This 2025 study shows that vitamin D may delay early disease activity. Studies show nearly two-thirds of Americans have vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to osteoporosis.
