You should be aware that while many people with Paget's disease have no visible symptoms, their bones are still being affected. Make sure they get adequate calcium, vitamin D, and exercise. Also try to create a safe environment where they are less likely to fall and fracture a weakened bone. Paget's disease can be very painful, and may require pain medication.
