I have osteo porossis, I refuse the drugs and go to gym, work 45 hours a week and eat tons of fruit and veggies. That all seems to work just good. True my arthritis plays up in winter, so I keep my joints as warm as possible and that too really helps. I don't trust the drugs so refuse to take them. If however my life really did hinge on taking them, who knows if I will!!
