Osteoperosis (brittle bone disease)

[Babylicious]

Has anyone been tested for this? All the females in my family have it and I'm wondering if I should be tested for it now?

At work once a year were given the opertunity to have a full health screaning - really good really.

I had a bone dencity test done... aparantly there crap, like a 60yr old woman. Id forgotten all about that actually.. must crack on with the calcium tablets now im not preggers.

My dad has it (Luckly, hes only my dad thru marriage, so its not gonna be hereditary (sp))

I was tested for this as i was on a high dose of steroids for a few months for my crohns disease. It was just a bone scan and was a really simple test. I was borderline osteopenia (the one before osteoperosis) for one of the tests but the others were normal thank god. Its a good idea to have the test sooner rather than later as they can then treat you quicker.
