I am very far from being a bleeding heart liberal, unbeknownst to you. I am a conservative by nature. I won't bore you with the details. It is just IN MY OPINION, Limbaugh is a hypocrite when he can be excused for HIS ADDICTIONS, yet he can play on someone else's disability. That's where I

Forgive me, I don't understand the connection -- is TM known to lead to osteoporosis? Or do some medications lead to that? Or is it that being non-weight-bearing makes one more prone to it? Barbara H. http://barbarah.wordpress.com/

No, I don't think you went overboard at all or sent it to the wrong place. As I said, I was just trying to understand the connection. It's important information for everyone, especially those who can't walk. I imagine those of us who aren't as physically active as others might be affected
