I wrote about this under the menopause stuff somewhere but if you didn't see it there, here I go again.

I've been thin most of my life and I agree with Meredith and others that genetics and weight have a lot to do with bone loss. I always figured I'm on my feet a lot and running up and down stairs and walking, yet I've got bone loss in my spine. I also hit menopause at age 45 which seems to happen more to thinner women. I also don't eat very well, generally eating sweets and drinking coffee and cutting out the "real food" to not gain too much weight.

So I'm taking Actonel (maybe same thing as Fosamax?) and my doctor says I need to walk more and start eating better, which is tough to do when I'm stressed out, which is most of the time.
