One in four women over the age of 50 and at least one in eight men over the age of 50 has osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is often called the silent thief as there is not usually pain until a fracture occurs. My name is Pam Lowden, and I was diagnosed with osteoporosis nine years ago at the age of 43. In 2007 seeking to educate others, I approached Osteoporosis Canada (OC) to assist me in starting up a support group in the Georgetown area. A local health forum was soon arranged by OC and, as a result, several individuals in the area expressed an interest in form- ing a new support group. A diagnosis of osteoporosis can be overwhelming and frightening. It is important to educate yourself about the disease and how to maintain a bone healthy lifestyle through exercise, diet and medica- tion. Osteoporosis Canada was established in 1982 and is the only national charitable organization serving Canadians who have, or are at risk of, osteoporosis. There are numerous chapters and sup- port groups operating across the country who provide individuals with osteoporosis the opportunity to exchange information and give support to one another. Come out and meet with other individuals who live with osteo- porosis. Our support meetings are held once a month at the The Real Canadian SuperStore on Guelph St., Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Various informative speakers will also attend the meet- ings, providing valuable informa- tion on how to live well with this disease. This years remaining meetings are scheduled for November 26 and December 10. Meetings in 2008 will be held on the last Monday evening of each month. If you have any questions about the support group meetings, please contact Pam Lowden at 905-702- 9276 or check the Osteoporosis Canada website www.osteoporo- sis.ca - click on Community Contacts, Ontario Support Group Meetings. For information about osteoporosis, please call 1-800- 463-6842.
