Osteoporosis And H.R.T.


Ladies...
If You Value Your Life, Listen To Me!

They call it the ‘silent killer,'
And now I know just why,
And believe you me, it's awful,
It made me want to cry!

It started with a hysterectomy,
Cos I was knackered inside.
Well, they could have my bits,
Cos I didn't have any pride!

I had never felt so well after,
I was completely brand new!
Now I could have a life again...
And there was nothing I couldn't do!

But I go so much pain, I did!
Cos my bones were aching and sore,
It was my arthritis,
I wasn't worried, I knew the score.

Didn't I?

I deteriorated fast,
One stick, then two, and then…
I had to have a wheelchair,
Now I was knackered again!

Arthritis!  That's the problem,
Or so I thought it to be,
But I was getting worse...
And no sign of improvement could I see.

The pain became real bad,
When I would sit, walk or stand,
I didn't know how to cope?  
It was totally out of hand!

But it was only my arthritis…!  
Well, what else could it be?
I was only 39 years old,
Only young, you see.

Bone density scan...
Cos things were really bad!
Osteoporosis was diagnosed!
Now I was really feeling sad!

It was down to H.R.T.
Or the lack of it, I should say,
I wasn't on them, they'd stopped them,
And my bones were not ok!

I didn't know how important...
Or imperative H.R.T. is,
Or it helps stave of the ‘silent killer!'
Cos the hormones do the biz!

It's totally too late for me,
But before I finally go…!
I'll preach all I can of H.R.T.
Cos I'm certainly in the know!

Osteoporosis is a killer,
Bigger than you know!
H.R.T. is imperative!!
It's the only way to go!

Don't be like me through ignorance,
Heed the warning that I give!
Say NO to osteoporosis,
If you really want to live!

They call it the ‘silent killer,'
Because OSTEOPOROSIS Kills!

In 2004 I almost lost my life!

Why?

Because I had no hormones!!!

And the result was so horrendous!

I dare not even tell it!!!
