Re: Backache

[Guest guest]

Hi Aida:

I have back pain at times, too. If I've been on my feet for a while or

especially bending over, my back will start to ache. If I lay down for a while,

it goes away. I've been blaming it on osteopenia - the beginning of

osteoporosis. According to my doctor the florineff can cause osteoporosis and

being that I'm well past menopause my bone density tests show that my upper

spine is like that of a 75-80 year old woman (I'm 57). I've been on a drug

called Fosamax for the last three months which is supposed to reverse the

problem, but it will take up to a year to see much in the way of results.

While I'm here - Since I live alone, I don't know if I snore or act out dreams.

I always wake up in bed and I haven't pumched any holes in the wall or knocked

things off the night table, but I do have some scarey dreams at times. But I

can remember having scarey dreams all my life. I also passed out in school one

time but it was when I was starting a period and I had a lot of pain with them.

Pain can make me feel faint. I also came close to passing out several times

during my last pregnancy (when I was 26).

(Ont. Can.) where the sun is shining for the second day in a row but it's

still cold.
