Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 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?? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
