Suggest Treatment To Increase Weight With Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Hello, my name is Irene.. I m 25 years old.. I m underweight.. I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta and I broke my legs many times before until the age of 17 or so and now I m better thank God.. I use crutches to walk but I m better than before Thank God. My height is about 143cm and my weight is about 32.5 Kg. I was suffering from underweight all over my life but now it s becoming worse and worse specially that I work not less than 12 hours daily (my work is just in front of the PC but I move sometimes also but in normal ranges not excessively at all). I know that my main problem is that I m not eating enough but I just can t find a way out it, I get full so quickly and eating is a boring & difficult task for me always. Thanks in advance for help.

Hi
I understand your problem.
If I were your doctor, I had suggested you not to try gain in weight forcibly since you are on clutches and with limited mobility.
As far as you refrain from eating much, may be corrected with palatable and interesting light foods, which you have to chose yourself, esp. rich in Calcium- more so natural calcium like Sudhasaptak pills ( India) made of multiple natural organic calciums- will help you much.
Hope this hints you well.
