Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

I know that long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (like Prilosec/omeprazole) can reduce bone density. I guess I'm shrinking! Keep an eye on that. This could be a reason to see your doctor. There is medication to make your bone material more dense, to slow the shrinking process. But, the same medication may work against you when you break a bone or need surgery done on your bones. Because it will stop bone growth. Still, "growing" short rapidly can bring lots of nasty things. So, do keep an eye on yourself. Yes, I've heard of some of thsoe anti-osteoporosis meds actually causing fractures. I will ask my doctor about this. It's also possible, I suppose, that my spine is being pressed down by my excess weight, and that losing a chunk of blubber off my overloaded frame could help me to stand taller!
