30. Severe osteoporosis with unrelated tonic-clonic seizures and vertigo.

Wed Nov 14, 2012, 11:03 AM

Nov 2012

I've broken most of them myself during a seizure. They've got me on daily injections of Forteo which allegedly rebuilds bone (rather than bisphosponates which simply depress the natural decomposition). We'll see. I've only been on it for just over 3 months and have to stay on it for two full years. I just miss being able to do things I used to take for granted - like running.
