Billy, What kind of water do you drink? Does carbonation deplete your body of calcium. I was told that by someone. I drink way too much Fresca or Sprite. I was trying to drink water for a few weeks and I just don't like it except at night. I drink a lot of raspberry herbal tea also. I was surprised for my hygienist told me that herbal tea does stain your teeth. I know we are supposed to drink a lot of water. I usually up late drink at night if I am hot. I use a 2 gallon thermos with three long straws put together with rubber tubing I use for my bed bag to make it longer for my water bed and my wheelchair. I can't stand water without a lot of ice.. A friend from the Internet with M.D. told me to use some kind that tubing from refrigerators, I didn't quite know what he was talking about. I will have to ask again for further clarification. I hope you're feeling better after your illness. I thought I was getting sick last night, because I got congested and had to be suction twice and take a breathing treatment but I was fine today, I guess it was the rain. Hi Dan, I wanted to mention that I use nightly injections of forteo, since my leg was broken by a an attendant, while doing leg exercises and my arm was broken, when my aid tripped on a footstool that I had at the end of the bed so my puppy could get on the bed 8 few years ago. I had some improvement in my bone density. It is stronger than Fosamax, which I took for a couple years previously. I had some improvement in my bone density. I guess mine is quite low but I don't know what the average is. I guess there is a new one that you only have to take once a month. I got my medication for my internist. Dana
