Today is my one week anniversary of being off omeprazole. It’s what I’ve spent the vast majority of my time thinking about these last few weeks. How to get off this drug, how to prevent the symptoms from coming back, and biggest of all: is it connected to osteoporosis or not?
Of course, I don’t know the answer to the final question. And that is scary. But life be like that sometimes.
I picked up a weighted vest from Costco. Sixteen pounds or so. It doesn’t sound like much. But after walking just a few blocks, it becomes clear very quickly just how cumbersome it really is.
My doc something to be about skinny people are more likely to get osteoporosis and well, that’s me. She said that’s the one health advantage overweight folks get, strong bones.
Searching for studies that show weighted vests actually help with bone loss is nothing but confusing. It’s amazing how unclear stuff can be. So hard to figure out what to do. I will try it though and see what happens.
Keep on truckin’
