If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

As have said before, *never do Yoga NOR Pilates unless with a fully trained and qualified person who understands the limitations of their class atendees - be those limitations medical, physical/medical, etc etc One can *seriously harm oneself otherwise. And please, no AS person to EVER even try to stand on their head...!!

Paul - check out the Strontium Citrate. Stuff works as the bisphosphonates do not work. Bis drugs stop bone turnover and remodelling leading eventually TO fragile bones as the bones brittle up - like dead wood.
Ouch! AND, THE HALF LIFE OF THE bis DRUGS IS 10YRS
Yeah, I was wondering about that after reading that the drug is essentially not metabolized anywhere in the body... Strontium Citrate is slow but works. Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely time to do some more reading. The crap seems to have made my asthma & sinuses worse...I've been coughing all day :-(.

I know, I'm such a spoil-sport... Well, I had to give em up so you can to - <LOL> Heigh, good gal. Take two tabs on an empty stomach. Don't take other supplements like calcium, Vit-K2 etc any time near to the Stront C. You 'may' experience some constipation , but again , may not. But just in case, take correct action for correct action - but not too much/don't overdo it or you'll end up in that other thread (again...!!)

I have been taking a med that my GI put me on called Miacalcian that I spray into a nostril once a day. It works differently then the bisphosphonates. It does not cause any GI problems. It is supposed to prevent as much loss of calcium from the bones.
