Osteoporosis Awareness

I just sent a letter to California Senator Alquist who is holding an informational session to the legislature in March on the impact of osteoporosis. Wanna talk impact? If any of the doctors taking care of J in the past ten years had gotten their collective heads out of their !@#$# they could have ordered a bone density test. It would have been low and he could have been started on meds that would have prevented all the joint replacements and pain. Over a lifetime of his medical issues it would have saved the state millions on his care. Two hundred for a simple test. I am actively campaigning to bring bone density testing awareness for the populations that took dilantin & tegretal as children/teens for seizures, mood disorders or whatever to get them checked early. Lets prevent osteoporosis from making 30 year old men have 125 year old bones.
