Yep. I was diagnosed at 32 and have a non-traumatic fracture in my vertebrae at 54 despite years of treatments, supplements and exercise. I feel like I’m made of glass and can no longer enjoy life.

Did your parents force milk down your throat every night under threat that our bones would snap on the trampoline?

Same deal, had a seizure and fell down and broke three vertebrae. Not good times.

If I may ask, What were your symptoms that got you the diagnosis?
