old ladies disease

My doctor sent me a letter last week telling me that I had osteoporosis. She sent along a little booklet explaining the different medications that were available to me.
 Read it, especially the pages that explain the medications (she had them flagged with a post-it) and then we'll talk.
 I put it in a drawer for a couple of days. And then I decided I was being silly. After all, I know I'm small-boned and I did go through menopause at 45 which is another risk factor.
It's just that I think of this as an old ladies disease and if I have it then that means I must be...an old lady.
 I'll suck it up and take the once-a-week medication but I'm not telling anybody about it. I'm really surprised I'm telling you!
