Kinda became a second nature method of self-protection after celebrating my son's heart surgery only to have him go into cardiac arrest a few hours later. Not sure I know any other way at this point. My medical background just makes it easier to jump to conclusions!

Look up minocycline and pain or minocycline and glia, very interesting. Well tolerated unless a history of sensitivity to tetracyclines. Low side effects, made me a bit dizzy and vision slightly blurred but not enough to discontinue for the 10 days I took it.

Well...my ortho just called (on a Saturday. After the nurse called me yesterday.   ). Told me he has my chart in front of him and wanted to make sure & touch base. Went over the Vit D stuff. Then discussed the bone scan. Said "You most definitely have osteoporosis. I want you to walk a little bit everyday - but don't fall, please - just a little bit of walking."
Okay. I would like a purple walker please, sir. We will also discuss treatment options and the endocrine referral on Monday.
