Well, I just got the results from my yearly dexa. My doc's told me the test is

fine, that I'm " normal " but in digging around in my paperwork I see changes. I

can't find last years but wanted to run the differences past ya's.

2001

Lumbar spine Z score 0.0

T score -0.6

This is within the range of normal

Bone mineral density in the hips yields a Z score of 0.8

T score of 0.3

Conclusion

Normal bone mineral density

2003 This is a little more detailed

Total bone mineral density from L1 through L4 is 1.060 gm/cm2

T score is -1

Bone mineral density left his is 0.943 gm/cm2

Bone mineral density right his is 0.943 gm/cm2

T score for left hip is -0.5

T score for right hip is -0.6

Conclusion

No evidence of osteoporosis or osteopenia.

But I see a difference!! I'm taking 2000 mgs calcium citrate a day. Haven't

had my labs done yet to check my pth. Asked my gyn about increasing to 2500 mgs

daily and she said I'd just pee it out.

Sooooooooooo.....any thoughts??
