Re: [TMIC] Be Careful When Exercising

[Lynn Pouliot]

I have been  on coricosteroids for a long time.  Right now I am on 10mg every day.  That is a fairly low dose.  But I have been on much higher doses over the years and did a year of monthly iv steroids which is 1000mg.  My doctor has me go for a bone density test every year and so far everything is ok.   Lynn in RI ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 12:57 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Be Careful When Exercising Hi Jude,,   I just asked my Primary about a bone density test during one of my regular appointments, and he referred me to that department  for an appointment.  I have an HMO, so that's the procedure for this.  I am not sure if you need to have your primary request it or not, but that's where I started.   Come to think of it, it's been about 5 yrs, so it's probably time to get it done again, or most likely, overdue.   Hugs to you, Barbara A
