Your post about this issue is everything. I’m 6’ was very active from childhood into adulthood. Working out, adult basketball leagues, softball etc… Complera and Genvoya caused so much bone loss that was discovered a couple years later. By that time I had developed osteoporosis, vitamin d deficiency and worsening of preexisting anemia. This is a problem because treating the vitamin d deficiency and attempting to rebuild brittle bones inhibits my body’s ability to increase red blood cell production and keeping my hemoglobin at a level high enough so that I don’t damage my kidneys. I had my right hip replacement surgery last Friday and orthopedic surgeon advised me to have both knees replavedn.6 mos-1 year. Osteoarthritis is so bad that it takes me a good hour everyday before I’m able to move without pain and stiffness. I’m 51 but have the bones of a 70!yr old female based on bone scans and X-rays.

I hear you😃 I'm in the same place but understand your body ....things like bending your knees, running ...be extra careful to know how your body responds to certain physical movements . we have to understand that as we mature certain things aren't the way they used to be 🌈🤗😊❤️

Yes, I've got osteonecrosis from AZT, right hip replacement with left side still to go.

Everybody goes to a lot of side effects from the bed and they affect you different me I got the hump I've also had over 15 opportunist infections I lost blood when I became anemic when AZT came up but I never gave up I called places I studied knowledge is power I'm still here that's been 36 years I believe in you happy Easter
