<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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!
