I came across this on the UK's BBC website and thought that people here might find it useful.

Wow! that sounds a lot simplier and cheaper. My nails are awful right now...had gel nails on an they just about ruined them,at least I hope that's it! I take calcium, but I have been on high dose off and on ( more on) for the past 9-10 yrs.

It sounds like this is something that people would go for more readily than a routine bone scan.

Thanks for this info... l1wv
