I just got back from vacation and read the posts regarding broken bones. My daughter has had at least 6 broken bones in the past. Each time we stress dosed orally and she was just fine. I don’t know that it was always necessary, but it won’t hurt. If you do it right away, you may avoid a crisis and the shot. It’s what our endo recommended. By the way, Kristin is NOT a salt-waster.Kay
