Critical osteoporosis
Hello doctors, please help me.
My name is Vignesh. I am a DMD patient, age 25.
I have been using steroids for a long time.
First, I used Defcort 6 mg for 5 years.
After that, I used Wysolone 10 mg for about 4 and a half years.
Now, for the past 3 months, I am again taking Defcort 12 mg.
Currently, my bones are in a very severe osteoporosis condition. It is extremely critical.
I have been bedridden for the past 5 years.
For the past 5 months, I have been lying down continuously and cannot even sit.
I cannot even be lifted and moved to another place. I am always in the same place
I do everything while lying on the bed.
Now I don’t know what to do anymore.
I am staying on the 3rd floor, and I cannot even go to the hospital.
My bones are very critical — even light lifting can cause fractures.
Is there any way to make my bones stronger while staying at home?
Please help me.
I am unable to do anything.
My number : nine nine five two zero seven one seven four seven please call me 🙏
