See a doctor: See a doctor with experience in OI. Type none can be mild or severe. The most common problem at your age is osteoporosis which can worsen after menopause. You should be on a high calcium diet. You also may need bisphosphonate therapy. This is an uncommon condition which requires someone with knowledge of the disease to help guide you re meds and exercise. Good luck to you
