Hi! This is really cool. Kudos for taking control back when osteoporosis seems to take a lot of it.

My husband passed away six weeks ago. Surprisingly not from his bones but another reason altogether. But he averaged a break a year. Some more catastrophic to our life than others. His began at 30. We started seeing a specialist in Dallas at a bone and mineral clinic and he had the markers for osteogenisis imperfects (brittle bone disease) which is genetic when the entire time he had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. One of the major signs was his sclera (whites of the eye) had a faint blue tint to them. He was all set for genetic testing right before he passed away. Figured I would mention in case your sclera might be slightly tinted. In this case the bones do not use collagen appropriately causing the brittle and breaks.
