devastated at scan results

[emmab]

just had bone density scan and results are REALLY BAD. basically i fall into the osteoporosis range at thirtyfive years old

am REALLY upset and scared.

i could KICK myself (although i'd probably break my foot)

the scan lady was nice and said not to feel bad, and that my family history of it was probably more to blame than my "weight"...she weighed me and said thin people more at risk and i told her i'm not naturally this thin and am trying to gain.

just emailed my N who will get the report in a week and asked her what i can do NOW to help or at least not further hurt.

i am trying hard to regain and have some qs

is it better to gain to healthy weight FAST or slow?
can i ever repair the damage?

Slow. let your doc help you. there is ways to stop and partially heal bone issues. God bless you. God bless you! everything will be ok. you start now. put away the past ans work for what lies ahead.

I am sorry to hear about your scan, thats my next thing in life...... within the mth.
now i just did the refeeding thing and they went in at full food..

it was scary to say the least..and i could have not done it without them, i would talk with your nutritionist and if you are not gaining enough u could always drink ensure, or boost? ensure vanilla is not bad actually.....
hope that helped some if u have any questions i will try to answer them....
and don't fret over this, take calcium.....lots of it....
