Article:Propranolol and Osteoporosis: Good News

I was delighted to discover this a few months after my GP had started me on Propranolol as a preventative in 2015 and just hope it might prove an added bonus.

There’s plenty of further info on it out there but I recently bookmarked one other as of potential interest on here. Helen

Thank you, Helen.

I finally got a got a break in my day to read the very informative articles you provided.

I was pumped with SSRIs for several years after 911. I was prescribed 6 that I recall zoloft, effexor, paxil, prozac, lexapro, celexa. Not all at once. I did not tolerate them. Some, worse than others. Effexor was awful for me. Now, 20 years later, the doctors/science has advanced.

My neuropsychologist recently informed me that “they” also classified PTSD as a brain injury due to the EEG consistency. Sorry I do not have a reference.

So when I started with my VM symptoms, I was just looking for any connection. I did see a nuclear medicine scan in an article, but I’m just so skeptical.

Grasping at straws, I’m afraid some days.

I understand that these medications help others tremendously, so anyone reading this please do try if your situation is different and you are comfortable with your physicians advice.
