Fellow Listmates -

I am a 37 year old female and approx. 4 years ago I was diagnosed with
Celiac and Severe Liver disease.  While waiting for the proper organ
donation of a liver, I had been getting stronger, and doing much
better.  I did have to have a Shunt inserted into my liver.  Now I have
been told that I have osteoporosis.  They think because the Celiac
wasn't discovered until I was 34, contributed to the seriousness to my
different problems.  Seeveral nights ago I woke up about 2:00am on my
sofa.  I started to the bedroom and tripped on a cord and fell very hard
on some chairs.  I was certain that I broke 3 ribs and done damage to my
sturnam.  I went to the Clinic the next day and they did X-rays.  I have
3 cracked ribs and heavy bruising on my sternam.  It is VERY painful.
Has anyone had this problem before?  Is it Celiac Related?  What can I
do for the agony?  I also get severe cramping in my legs and feet.  What
is happening to me?   Any suggestions from any that know, will be
appreciated.  I am doing my best to keep a good attitude, but that is
getting very difficult.

Thanks to any or all that reply.  Happy Holidays!
