RECLAST INFUSION AND COSMETICS!

November 14, 2022 74 Comments

 RECLAST INFUSION…………NOVEMEBER 2022.

 RECLAST IS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS………….IF YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO BE A CANDIDATE THIS IS A” DRIP” INTO YOUR VEINS FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

ONCE THIS IS DONE YOU GO BACK AGAIN IN A YEAR!

I WILL DO THIS FOR THREE YEARS……….THEN THEY CHECK BONE DENSITY AGAIN AND RE-EVALUATE I THINK!

THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME, BUT I AM SHARING WITH YOU ALL AND MAYBE SOME OF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS ALREADY?

 IAM 62 YEARS OLD.

This all started a few years back in my fifties.

THE LOSS OF BONE DENSITY!

I WAS A BIT ALARMED WHEN IT WAS THE ONCOLOGY DEPARTMENT WHO WAS ADMINISTERING IT TO ME!

I PULLED UP MY BIG GIRL PANTS AND ACTED LIKE A BIG GIRL THAT I AM AND TRIED NOT TO SHOW ANY EMOTION ON MY FACE AS YOU KNOW I AM A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON. I TEND TO SUCK UP OTHERS ENERGIES OR LACK THERE OF……and am a BIG WORRY WART!

ZOMETA.

AS THIS DRUG IS CALLED (NOT RECLAST SO CONFUSING TO ME) IS A DRUG FOR BISPHOSPHONATES.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

AS A SUPPORT MEDICATION TO TREAT SYMPTOMS OF CANCER SUCH AS HYPERCALCEMIA (HIGH BLOOD CALCIUM)OR TO DECREASE COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS FRACTURES OR PAIN PRODUCED BY BONE METASTASIS SPREAD OF CANCER TO THE BONE.

NO!!

I DONOT HAVE CANCER …………….

THEN ON TOP OF THAT EXPERIENCE I RECEIVED; AN EMAIL FROM MY NEUROLOGIST STATING THERE IS NO MORE OF MY ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATION AVAILABLE!

WHICH IS CALLED BRIVIACT.

THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS STILL HAVING ISSUES!

I HAVE FOCAL SEIZURES DUE TO EPILEPSY THEY TELL ME SO I TAKE TWO ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATIONS DAILY.

THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING NOW FOR 8 YEARS AS OF NOV.4TH WHEN I STARTED KEEPING TRACK!

I TELL YOU I NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A STRONG PERSON, BUT LATELY I HAVE A GOOD CRY AND THEN I AM ON THE BANDWAGON AGAIN!

THE ITALIAN SUGGESTS CALLING OTHER PHARMACIES………….OKAY I CAN DO THAT!

I CALLED FOUR AND NO ONE HAD IT IN MY AREA!

I HAD AN EPISODE WITH MY EYES AFTER THREE MONTHS OF NOTHING!

I HAD CUT BACK THAT MORNING TO HALF A PILL TO SLOWLY WEAN MYSELF OFF………………AS I WILL RUN OUT OF PILLS IN SIX DAYS TIME!

I HAVE BEEN OFFERED ANOTHER PILL TO REPLACE THE “SUPPLY CHAIN” MISSING IN ACTION MEDICATION!

I HAVE TRIED THAT PILL IN 2017 AND HAD A HORRIBLE TIME WITH IT.

(IT IS OFTEN GIVEN TO MIGRAINE SUFFERS)

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SECOND TIME IS CHARM FOR MANY!

SO HERE WE GO DOWN THAT LANE WHICH IS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND EVENTS I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TOO!FOR ME LIFE HAPPENS ONE DAY AT A TIME.I KNOW UPON GETTING UP IF I CAN GO OUT OR NOT……..BELIEVE ME ITS NO WAY TO LIVE.

I SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THE CHOSEN ONE!

YES PLEASE LAUGH OUT LOUD AS THAT IS MY HUMOR KICKING IN.

 DOES ANYONE HAVE A CONNECTION WITH THE BRIVIACT SUPPLIERS?

BETTY THE ROTTI………WHO GOT A NEW BED AND IS NOT THAT FOND OF IT!

 HER LOOK TODAY IS HOW I FEEL………………..

 LET’S MOVE ON TO FUN THINGS…………..LIKE MAKE-UP!

SO THAT BOBBI BROWN SOLD OUT TO Estee Lauder YEARS AGO AND CAME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO CREATE A NEW BRAND CALLED JONES ROAD BEAUTY.

 I HAD SEEN THEIR AD FOR FOUNDATION AS YOU KNOW I DO NOT NEED AS I LOVE THE FIERA AND PERBELLE I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU ALL IN THE PAST!PLUS, I DONOT GO ANYWHERE THESE DAYS THAT REQUIRES A FACE!BUT SOMETHING SAID TRY IT!OKAY I HAPPEN TO LISTEN TO MY INNER VOICE ON OCCASION……….

THEY HAVE YOU ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS THEN IF YOU WANT YOU CAN SEND A SELFIE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY THINK!SO, THATS WHAT I DID…………….SEE BELOW!

ONCE YOU GET PASSED THE DIRTY HAIR……..THE CROOKED NOSE AND THE UGLY TEETH!

DID I EVER TELL YOU THE STORY OF HOW I WAS MISSING 7 TEETH WHEN I WAS BORN?

THE DENTIST TOLD MY MOTHER I BETTER BRING MY FIANCE IN BEFORE MARRIAGE IN CASE HE WAS MISSING TEETH AS OUR CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE NONE!

WELL, THAT WASNOT THE CASE……………my boys have BEAUTIFUL TEETH.

DO YOU KNOW IN ITALY WHEN I LIVED THERE BACK IN THE 1990’S; ITALIANS DIDNOT GO TO HAVE THEIR TEETH CLEANED ON A REGULAR BASIS?

ONLY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM!

WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW WITH THAT ITALIAN I LIVE WITH!

ROOT CANALS AND GUMS ARE HIS ISSUES!

NOT ME. I HAVE THOSE SEVEN MISSING TEETH THAT HAVE BEEN REBUILT BY ARTIFICIAL MEANS AND PUT IN PLACE SINCE I WAS 15………………..WHO CAN DO THE MATH ON THAT?

IAM INFORMED BY THE DENTIST EVERY TIME I SEE HIM; THEY ARE SOLID AS A ROCK!

“DON’T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TOO!”

HOWEVER I AM NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE TEETH WHITENING EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE DONE!

AS THE “FAKE” TEETH WILL NOT TAKE THE WHITENING PRODUCT SHALL WE CALL IT PROCEDURE OR MEDICATION THAT IS APPLIED.SO THATS WHY MY TEETH ARE BROWN AND A DISCOLORATION APPEARS.

I CAN LIVE WITH IT!

MY SMILE IS NOT THAT BIG.

“Hi Elizabeth,
 
Thanks for reaching out to Jones Road!
 
Based on your image we recommend our WTFoundation in Porcelain.

SO HERE IT IS IN BOTH PHOTOS THE JONES ROAD FOUNDATION WITH MY WILD BERRY LIPS!
 IT GOES ON LIKE BUTTER AND YOU REALLY DO NOT FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE A FOUNDATION ON MORE LIKE A MOISTURIZER.
I LIKE THE NATURAL LOOK THE OLDER I GET………IT’S KINDA FUN TO COUNT THE WRINKLES, WATCH THE DARK SPOTS GROW AND SEE THE SCARS FROM CHILDHOOD CONNECT FROM THE UPPER LIP TO THE NOSE AREA!
NOW WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED FOR ME IS MY JOWL……….
BOTH MY PARENTS HAD THAT GOBBLE NECK AND YOU SEE IT HERE!
 
 PERBELLE ………….A COLOR CORRECTING MOISTURIZING MAKE-UP & FOUNDATION
 $44.00 A TUBE.WITH A SPF OF 43 UVA/UVB.
A LITTLE GOES FAR ON ME.
I HAVE HAD SINCE LAST YEAR OCTOBER AND I STILL HAVE PLENTY!
PERBELLE HAS A WHITE CHALKY TEXTURE BUT CHANGES COLOR AS YOU APPLY IT.
IT ACTUALLY COMES OUT OF THE TUBE GRAY.SO DONOT BE PUT OFF BY THAT!
 
THAT PRINT IN THE BACKGROUND FEEDING THE BIRDS I HAD A STRONG FEELING THAT WAS ME WHEN I SAW IT IN 1994 IN ARREZO, ITALY AT THE FLEA MARKET.
I THINK IT COST $30.00 FRAMED.
I ENDED UP HAVING DOVES AND CHICKENS WHEN WE MOVED BACK TO THE STATES AND HAVE NEVER CONNECTED THE DOTS UNTIL NOW!
 
THIS IS JONES ROAD BEAUTY IN PORCELAIN ABOVE
AND BELOW IS
FIERA ADVANCED COSMETICS
 I DID A PHOTO A DAY
FOR THREE DAYS OF THESE PRODUCTS ASKING MY FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM WHICH THEY PREFERRED ON ME!
 I TOLD THEM I WOULD DO THE MATH!
THESE WERE THE THE RESULTS.
 
 PERBELLE:21
JONESROADBEAUTY:47
FIERA COSMETICS:34
 
 THE OTHER EIGHT THOUSAND FOLLOWERS MUST HAVE TAKEN THE DAY OFF!!
IT IS A CHALLENGE TO GET PEOPLE TO ENGAGE BUT WHEN THEY DO IT CAN BE A HOOT!
 
 
 WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
MY PROBLEM IS I LIKE THEM ALL…………..
TWO SHOULD BE APPLIED WITH A BRUSH AND ONE YOUR FINGERS.
 
 I HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

    Good morning Elizabeth,

    I’m so tardy in replying to your on going saga story on your anti seizure medication Briviact. The chain supply in your medicine is an interesting one. Do you know if the science and medical field are supplying your Briviact to hospital patients to possibly be treating it for something like upper respiratory issues? The reason I ask during the Covid crisis the hospitals were treating ICU patients and others in the hospital with Actemra. This infusion is given to patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I went through the same exact thing that you are going through. It’s highly frustrating. I have learned through family that are in the medical field when a patient is assertive in other words nicely screams the loudest gets their attention. I did that with my rheumatologist and it worked. I have been a patient of his for 10 years. I got a small secret shot of the Actemra because of it. Not an infusion but at least I got something. A lady I know that has Lupus and needs her infusions her medicine was in short supply because the science people decided to try that on critical patients. That too became in short supply.
    I know about Reclast, have osteoporosis throughout my body. Years ago when I talked to my Rheumatologist he said, I was not a candidate for it. I went on Boniva for many months gave me bad acid reflux. I have been on Prolia since March 2015. My numbers are still going in the wrong direction.
    Like you I had exercised my entire life, avid hiker, big time runner, road races, full marathons and even one ultra marathon. Look where it got me.

    I so understand where you were at receiving your first Reclast infusion. I remember back in 2013 when I first received my first RA infusion I was quietly freaking out. Keeping a strong face in my big girly girl pants.
    The day before I got out my small little book to read called…”As A Man Thinketh,” by James Allen. That helped my mind set that I would not die in front of all those people in the infusion room. I know what you were going through. When I start up s new medicine or injection I go through the same thing. Some of the meds as their wall paper of warnings tell you all the things that could go wrong including death. It’s their way of telling you so if an event happens you won’t come after the manufacturer and sue them. I wanted to connect with you because I’m in your camp of where you are at. Have you had any adverse side effects so far to the Reclast??
    Sending you caring hugs.

    Elizabeth, Sorry I missed this post! Wow that treatment sounds rough. I hope it’s all worth it. You are brave and I think this is worth doing. I would too! Betty looks cozy there.. Love the Jones Road and Perbelle on you. You always shine in photos- makeup or not. Love your smile and that is funny about teeth isn’t it? I hope you find your meds soon. We need a global system where we can buy what we need..probably a portion of the price. Can’t wait to see you.xoxo

    Dear Contessa,

    I’m glad that you can still take the time to look at cosmetics, to dress up, and to care about your appearance. It’s important anyway, but it proves that you are not letting these health challenges get the better of you. Your spirit is indomitable, and this is what keeps you going in the face of all that life is throwing your way. I hope that the infusion works, and that you are able to get your other medication soon. What a hassle. As to the osteoporosis, has your doctor suggested the calcitonin-salmon nose spray? It is not itself calcium, but helps you to absorb it. I use it, in addition to taking calcium and Vitamin D supplements, for my osteopenia. I try and stay active, but sometimes it’s a challenge. We are all in this together! Oh, and both of the lipsticks look very pretty on you!

    Oh boy, another procedure! Wishing you the best of luck with that. You’ve been dealing with so many health issues the past years but your spirit is always so positive and inspiring! Hope you gain some weight, though! You’re as light as a feather, it looks like, but every so gorgeous.

I learn so much from you and your readers, so very grateful for your blog… please never stop!! I may look into the infusion… will see how the next scan goes, I’m walking and eating foods with calcium… XOXO

    I’m sorry to hear about your medication, LA CONTESSA. That is awful. I don’t have an in on the drug unfortunately. I will read everyone’s comments and I hope to find that someone has a recommend.
    All these photos are beautiful. I don’t know which looks best on you because they are all fab.
    The bold red lip looks stunning on you!
    I was one of the 8,000 followers on an off day. I’m not on instagram everyday 🙁
    I think it speaks volumes that the one company engaged in your post. KUDOS to them. So kind of you to share your makeup trials and results to help all of us.
    HUGS. Happy upcoming Thanksgiving to you and yours!

    Dear Contessa,
    Although somewhat late, as a British citizen I would like to thank you for your gracious comments regarding the death of the Queen. I doubt if her like will ever be seen again. Regarding H&M, the less said the better as I prefer not to use bad language. Perhaps the best we can hope for is that they disappear from our radar!

    I was diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago. I went on PROLIA. A shot every six months. After a few years my bone density test showed osteopenia as I had added bone to my spine and hips. I am not aware of any side effects. My next bone density test will show, I hope, that I am holding steady or, better still, have further improved.

    You have your hands full, but I wondered if you had any thoughts on our brief conversation regarding older women, loneliness and isolation?

    I wish you a wonderful Thankgiving, and improvement in your health.

        Dear Contessa,
        Thank you for your kind response. I am involved in many interesting projects and have no problem keeping mentally and physically occupied but as mentioned previously, my dearest friends who lived nearby have all died within the last year or moved out of state. There must be many interesting older women in a similar situation in Los Angeles but how do we connect with one another? it would be nice to find someone who lives close by for occasional conversation/get together and reciprocal help when needed. Perhaps a sort of “dating” site for older single women? I’ll keep thinking on the subject.

        Be well and thank you again.

    Hi Contessa, gotta love a girl that says: “bird shit”.
    My bone scan last year showed pre-osteopenia. No treatment yet. They told me to walk more. I am too tired, Lol. Two friends that started the infusions for bones, like you, and zero problems. Wrinkles, teeth whiteness, energy level; etc. all the above because I am 67 and everything changing.
    Thank you for sharing this info. It is so helpful and reminds us we all have to travel this road.
    What is beauty? Is it perfect skin, perfect teeth, perfect body, youth? Or is it depth and dimension? Clint Eastwood doesn’t have perfect anything. Is he perfect thought…YES! You stand out in a crowd, Lucky you. I follow a artist@southgatedesign, that creates the most beautiful flower arrangements and yesterday she used fading flowers to create something gorgeous. All in the eye that seeks it.
    So frustrating the shortages. Love that you have a cry and get up and go again. That is human and helps me too. I have lots of cry’s. Then go again.
    Betty…. Maybe you can pass that bed to Banksy. If you throw taffeta /silk over it.
    Loved the makeup session. I use Clinique and Chanel; however, always up for new. I like the raspberry lipstick, btw.
    Hope you find your meds. I learned from your followers/readers today valuable info on shopping medicine my husband can use.
    Congrats to Annie!
    Be well Contessa!

    Recently I ordered medication from Canada. The medication was expensive. Almost $170 a month! So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Canada as suggested by my doctor’s nurse. I got it for $129 a month. Big difference! Maybe they have your medication you should check. The pharmacy is called Ameri Canada. You can google it. Good luck. Something like this that you need is quite frustrating to chase down. Best wishes to Banksy and Betty.

    Oh my goodness Elizabeth, I hope you’re able to get your medication soon because we need you to go and enjoy the festive season and share it with us. Supply chains have been an issue this year. Hopefully things will get better soon.
    Betty sholud be thankful she has such a nice big bed. I am sure that if she won’t use it Theodore will. Cats like to take over items that don’t belong to them.
    It’s always such a joy to read your posts. IG is becoming more of an effort than it is worth. it’s impossible to get engagement or even to get likes on photos these days. It’s been going downhill ever since it was taken over by Facebook.

    You have been busy my friend. Glad to hear you are getting some preventative medicine to keep you strong. Perhaps the change in seizure med will be even better than the one that’s hard to get. If I could, I’d make all the ailments go away.

    Dabbling with your cosmetics looks good on you. I have taken up wearing just a little bit as well after not wearing any for years. Five minutes for a bit of foundation, lip stain, mascara, and a wee bit of filling in my eyebrows makes me feel more polished. A small investment of time for a boost in confidence.

    Sending u healing and love and peace and ALL GOOD THINGS.

    I messaged you about the drug! I like the Jones Road, and I just started using it myself! I was using another discontinued tinted moisturizer and this is similar. Good luck with the drip situation. I’m sure it will end up being a good thing. Hang in there…

    Hi there CONTESSA – it’s a gorgeous day here as the sun is out and it’s cold.
    I just checked with my pharmacy re Brivact – here it’s called Brivle and has the same active ingredients. Not what he stocks on regular basis.
    There must be a pharmacy somewhere in the USA who stocks what you need.
    Good luck in your search or use the mail order company. Last year we were hearing about Americans who come here/or order their meds as they are much cheaper than in the USA. (US $ is strong compared to Cdn.)
    Teeth – don’t be concerned re the colour. I saw the Queen up really close decades ago and she had yellowish/brownish teeth! When I commented to a friend re her teeth he said it’s because she drinks a lot of tea!
    On tv some of the people’s teeth are too white for me – I feel like I’m been blinded looking at them.
    “Life happens one day at a time for you” – there is a lot of goodness in your life.
    I’m reading that there is a party coming up! Oh my so much fun will be had with the ladies!
    I am chuckling re “the chosen one” – I’m so glad I chose to follow your blog .

    I prefer the foundation from Fiera. The other one is way too white. Makes you look like you’re missing some red blood cells. I googled: Order Briviact online. There are a number of references to purchasing it online. Take a look! xoxox, Brenda

      I took a quick look and it seems like another middle man on line ordering.SEIZURE drugs at least through my Medical insurance aren’t MAILED.I couldn’t find a phone number but will look again in the morning when I am MORE FRESH!
      THANK YOU for thinking of that as I would never have thought to look on line just because I have had to pick up in person for over a year.

    I want to also to add my personal experience. I get an injection of Prolia every 6 months and that has changed my osteoporosis diagnosis to osteopenia so I am going to continue with it. It is now going on 4 years with no side effects. I also took the weekly pill for 15 years with a break of a year in there as recommended by my doctor. It did not really do much for my bones.

    Do check out that Canadian mail order pharmacy as I used it for years for my eye drops, and it was 1/3 the cost of the meds on my prescription coverage !

    Your teeth look natural and I must add, so much more attractive that stark white teeth as they look so fake to me. One can always tell the caps from the natural.

    Wishing you luck with your latest health problems.

      THATS INTERESTING HE GAVE YOU A BREAK FOR A YEAR?THEN YOU WENT BACK ON?

    The osteoporosis treatment sounds interesting. I hope it works for you; once a year for three years isn’t bad at all. As for your meds and the supply chain….ugh, you’ve got to be kidding! I wonder where it is manufactured? Hopefully, this will be resolved soon!

    As for the fun part, I agree with your voters, Jones Road would be my choice, too. You look marvelous!

    I have seen those Jones Road adverts on Instagram and I must say they look tempting! Your voters chose well! I read those posts but did not vote…alas I am only one of the 8,000 subscribers.
    Good luck finding a source for your medication. There has been a children’s Tylenol shortage here in Canada! And of all strange things we cannot get my husband’s favourite Paul Newman brand family recipe Italian dressing! I make my own vinaigrette but he prefers the newman’s…at least we can get toilet paper and flour two things that were in short supply early in the pandemic.
    For whiter teeth I am using Burt’s Bees charcoal toothpaste…it’s actually very effective!

    Shocking to read you cannot get your very important medication. You might consider getting it from a Canadian pharmacy by mail. I have heard of folks who have done it for years very successfully, and cheaper than in the states. Wishing you good luck!

    Glad for you Elizabeth that there is a treatment for bone density loss. As for your other med, I ran into that “unavailability situation” and on my doctor’s advice turned to a Canadian pharmacy – they had what I needed at 1/2 the price! (Northwest Pharmacy in Canada.) And lastly, I like the Jones Road – funny, we’re on the same page, I have been looking at it for weeks and sent in a photo also – we wear the same shade. It looks lovely on you! I also love that Jones Road, and Bobbi Brown, are very supportive of women’s rights and working for our full health, bodily autonomy and wellness, and putting their $$$ where their mouth is. These factors have become how I choose where to spend my money these days, so, for that reason I choose Jones Road. XO

    I chose not to take shots for my osteoporosis. I did research on the drug suggested and decided against it due to potential side effects and personally not wanting to be a guinea pig for a pharmaceutical firm trying to recoup their investment. It was and is a new drug, and does not have the years of research on effects I felt needed. (This was a year ago, and I can’t even remember the name of the drug). Reading the horrors before making a decision on what some have gone through taking the drug did not bode well with me either. Something left unsaid by many Dr.’s. That said many of my friends are in treatment with no issues, and swear by whatever they are getting injected. So, an individual choice. If you are happy, and it works for you…bravo. I too am delighted for you. Just not for me at this time.

    Hello Miss Contessa, I wonder if anyone has mentioned the KETO food plan to you? It is used to control/treat epilepsy in youths. I use it to control/ cure Diabetes 2. The premise is to eliminate all carbs from your diet. Replace with Coconut oil, MCT oil, meats, animal fats, avocado, nuts, eggs, dairy. The only carb I eat on a regular basis is blueberries, in a no carb caa as me made with 2T almond flour, 1T coconut flour, 2 T stevia a natural sweetener powder, 1 egg and 1/2 t baking powder. Mix all in a small cereal bowl, add 1/2 c blueberries, mix together and microwave for 3-3 t min.
    If you have been told you have high cholesterol, high BP , etc, I have cured ALL of these by being very strict.
    I know, no more pasta, breads, pastries, but you will learn how to make cakes and pies the KETO way and maybe cure the epilepsy.
    I had horrible bone-onn-bone arthritis and after few months on keto, I have now been pain free for 7 years. I also eliminate tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant: no more arthritis.
    The web has thousands of recipes. Dr Gundry is one I follow.
    Good luck.

      I guess you haven’t been following me for years………I was and still am Gluten free and started that regime I would say now 20 years ago!I gave up the breads and pasta as the GF back then was so GOD AWFUL it would just fall apart!
      The epilepsy does not make me lose control and fall…………
      I read GUNDRY’s book and even tried to get an appointment with him!I have been down ALL THOSE PATHS even THE MEDICAL MEDIUM where I learned about the WILD ORGANIC BLUEBERRIES.As I thought my EPISODES were from FOOD ORIGINALLY………after keeping food records for years and NO DOCTORS or HOMEOPATHS would care TO LOOK at the books I realized through coughing and an XRAY I have MAC caused by BIRD SHIT and that I was having seizures in my sleep!That is why I would and still do wake up so tired!

    Oh I feel for you on the osteo treatment. I recently fell over my own feet and broke my arm and ended up with a diagnosis of osteopenia which is depressing at 60. Last thing I want is to start travelling around with a suitcase of medication everywhere I go but I figure it’s better than a fractured hip in the next few years. So I will be interested to see if your current regime works as once a year treatment would be a blessing compared to a weekly medication. Of the foundations I agree with the popular choice of Jones Road and might take a look at it myself. Though I will admit my makeup routine these days consists of berry lipstick and nowt else.

    Dearest Contessa,

    A trip into the Oncology Department would give anyone the wobbles so well done for pulling up your Big Girl pants and getting it done with a smile. I know nothing about osteo issues (yet) and have actually been sitting on a referral for my first done density screening for a couple of months and keep forgetting to make the appointment, so this is a timely reminder to get it done. Hopefully your treatment plan does what it says on the box!

    Your foundation test photos all look lovely but I can see that why you had more votes for the Jones Road one as the red lips look fabulous!! Don’t worry about your teeth – you look like an English Rose in your “before” photo. In fact, an almost dead ringer for my bestie in the UK!! Dazzling white teeth are not so popular here, either, except on the fangs of those on the telly and whatnot, and a bit of wonkiness is also pretty normal. We watch quite a lot of old British telly and the snaggletooth is often par for the course 🙂

    Speaking of teeth, when I spent time on a Greek island in the 90s, even the young had missing teeth as there was no resident dentist and if you ever got a toothache or some problem, the easiest and cheapest solution was to pull it out! And I’m trying to remember the European culture and era I read about where the parents of brides paid to have all their daughter’s teeth pulled out before their wedding day as part of the dowry – to save their future husbands unnecessary expense!!!

    Contessa … where to start? This osteo treatment could be miraculous … sorry you have to go through it though. And out of stock medication. Ugh. It’s been such a long haul getting to one that works. Someone’s got to have more. I enjoyed your three foundations … you know I bought and love the Fiere at your recommendation. I don’t use it everyday, but add it to problem areas when going somewhere I need to look better than my normal slobby self. And, I just ordered the Jones Road foundation … in fair. I’ve been meaning to do it since Kim wrote about it. On the purchase site I gave you both credit as the influencers who influenced me! I’ve been trying to seek out cruelty free cosmetics and skincare to replace product I’m using that are not. So excited for Annie and heading to Barnes & Noble later to try and pick up a copy! Happy Monday. xo

        I WAS ON THOSE FOR TWO AND HALF YEARS………..all my older friends told me NO!AND once again after I had the bone density test I was told I SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PUT ON THOSE PILLS!!!
        YOU want the injections is what my 70 and 80 year old buddies here tell me!
        Fosomax can make the bones MORE brittle.
