And diagnosed with osteoporosis I have an added some medication to help build the ground and Carnage is not part of that process but strengthens the bone is something that needs to be done I love Pokemon but I don't want to either after I am 72 I'm not weak I am not about strength but with inactivity of winter I become a weaker each year I've had neck and back surgeries and does her back on well I lost inches or maybe because of surgery and because of her tear on the body I cannot say that my meds have done this I can say we're in tear on my body has hey meds may not help it but I haven't been tested for cartilage damage if there is a test I should probably take it as something maybe I will have to ask when I go to my clinic the next time hugs to all stay healthy
