Osteonecrosis and Lupus




To rule out Avascular Necrosis / Osteonecrosis, I underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of both hips. Good thing, the results were good. Pain felt was just because of inflammation and not necrosis. Monitoring is still important because I'm taking Prednisone for years. Milk and Caltrate vitamins are my bestfriends too! It is also important to exercise everyday and to manage weight. Hopefully, I can lose more weight so there will be a lower chance of having osteonecrosis.

Lupus and Exercise


My favorite! Flat abs workout :)
Due to fear of having osteonecrosis, my doctor advise me to have healthy lifestyle, diet and EXERCISE! As much as possible, he did not want me to gain weight. Caltrate + a glass of milk is a must also since I've been taking steroids for years. :) So, I keep on encouraging myself that I should exercise and maintain my body. Kuya Jr, my cousin/kuya, suggested Zumba for my daily exercise. He even gave me a copy of flat abs workout, cardio, live zumba and zumba basics. 
Felt so great after doing the flat abs workout :)))))) Sorry for my puffy eyes! :D
