Osteoporosis strikes yient@u

This morning I went to my cousin's (Ah Yi) pharmacy store - Region Pharmacy @ Satok. She owned the store herself. She told me that there will be a 2-days of free bone scanning at her store. Actually, there is a company who wants to promote their Calcium product and taking my cousin's store as a platform to have a free bone scanning to any of my cousin's customer. After the bone scanning, the customer can choose whether to buy their product or leave the store - most of them buy their product. Their service will start from 9am to 12pm. I choose to scan it before I go to work since my lunch hour would be at 1pm. Though I know I will be late for work, but better take this chance to scan my bone because my friend - StephenLim had a very bad experience with his leg fractured :-S

I drive my cousin to work every morning. So, I was fortunate enough to be the second customer to enjoy this free bone scanning service. The first customer was an old grandma which I think is about the age of 80 plus. After her scanning, the promoter told her that she had a very bad result. She said she is suffering from osteoporosis and need to take more Calcium. I were like giggling in my heart where I said to myself "she is so old already, of course suffer from osteoporosis lah!". The promoter keep asking her whether she had a lot of coffee or not. Then she said "yeah, I love coffee". So, her statement struck my mind and my eye brow raised higher and said to myself again "Ooppss...I love coffee also and I drink a lot during lunch ! Ohh ohh...She must be joking". Then after her turn, the promoter call my name and ask me to sit down. I take off my shoes and socks. Then she start applying some kind of gel on my foot. The scanning started...

My heart beat tend to beat faster. After 30 seconds, the result is out. The machine prints out the result right after the scanning is done. So, the promoter gave the same face as how she show it to that old woman ! Oh my....look at the following result

The red line is the border for osteoporosis and yet I am right above the border. Did you see the black dot ? Yeah, that's my reading with 77 +/- 2. My cousin told me that, a normal healthy people's reading would be more or less 128 but I only manage to have 77 +/- 2. Geeekkkk !! That's extremely low for the age of 25 ! Now I understand why, my friend StephenLim would suffered from his leg fractured.

My cousin asked me to take 2 tablets of Calcium per day for 2 consecutive months. No coffee no tea during lunch. It's a shocking for my age to suffer from osteoporosis. So, youngster out there...don't ever think you are strong enough and had enough of calcium at your age. Anything can happened. Try to get yourself for bone scanning as soon as possible before anything bad happen to you. Take care and God blessed. *start calculating how many tablets of calcium in the medicine bag*
