That's good to hear the pills are working :)

Been trying to work out how to get bone density and Vit D up for ol' girl via soup as exercise is out the window, but everything hasn't worked so far :(

    Talk to her doc - there are once a week pills for vitamin D (I use these), but they need to be recommended by a doc. Gel capsules, that can be dissolved in something like soup. Talk to the doc as there may be other options.

    The osteo pills I use are once a week and a bit of a pain and probably won't work for your mum. I have to get these pills through an endocrinologist too. But there are alternatives, including a six-monthly intravenous infusion that has it's own risks & benefits but doesn't require any kind of pill.
