Thanks for that Lazylegs,

This is something that my rheumy hadn't really addressed until now despite my being on predisolone for a good eighteen months now but at my next appointment (Jan 12th), I'm having a bone density scan done so we'll see what gives there.

This is a really good article, thanks lazylegs.

I had a bone density scan last year and it showed that my bones were begining to weaken. (I have been on Pred for just under 2 years.) This came as quite a shock as I am 31 and I didn't think this would happen till I was much older.
It is so important to get tested!!!

Thanks again.
