I thought that I would post this here as I have been doing a few searches to research bone loss and calcium loss. basically the site is based around children on steroids due to Asthma, but it talks about steroid induced Osteoporoisis and how they deal with it and treat it. It is quite comprehensive and a good reference for anyone who would like to get their child checked out. http://library.nationaljewish.org/MSU/12n3MSU_Ster_Ind_Osteo.html#RTFToC3 Regards Val
