This was such a great session. I had a real wobble earlier this year, where the reality of having an osteoporosis diagnosis at 34 hit home, and I felt extremely isolated. Getting to meet other younger people last night was amazing, and I really hope we can build a community that supports us all and gives us inspiration and practical advice for long, stress-free lives ahead with these funny bones of ours.
As I mentioned, my osteoporosis has been linked to a hormone disorder undiagnosed for many years, but the cause of that can’t be known for sure (possible underfueling and low weight, possible hypothalamic shutdown in my teens to focus on survival processes due to constant stress from a complex childhood through to my late 20s and an associated patchy diet and lifestyle, living in an 60-a-day household for 18 years probably didn’t help, or perhaps it was sheer bad luck) - whatever the cause, one of the worst thing for recovery and health outcomes is stress and worry The call last night felt like a great way to combat that
Thank you

Great to meet you last night Cat. Thanks for joining and sharing a bit about your osteoporosis journey. So happy you found it useful and reassuring…exactly what we’re hoping to achieve. I’m hopeful that by meeting up zoom once a month and sharing stuff on here we’ll build a lovely community. We’re all in this together

Hi all! 35F and just been diagnosed… about to start teriparatide this week. Sadly looks like I just missed out on this amazing support group! If there are other meetups, online or in person in London, I would love nothing more than to join so please keep them going! I’m feeling rather isolated right now, as I imagine everyone else feels. But it’s given me a real boost (in a sad I’m so sorry there are more going through this) finding this community 
Hope to see you all soon!
