Retired teacher Liz, who is living with osteoporosis, is encouraging others affected by the bone disease to attend a special community café being held for the first time in Midlothian at Midlothian Community Hospital on 17 September from 2pm to 4pm.

Liz, who lives in Dalkeith, has found support, advice and community through the Lydia Osteoporosis Project Café. She says osteoporosis can be a lonely condition because it's an invisible illness. Often there's nothing obviously wrong with you, but you're dealing with pain every day. At the café you meet people who genuinely understand what that's like.
