one more Osteo victim

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I cannot believe it, but just got results back from my Dexa and am

osteopenic. or Osteopanic in reality. This test was done in USA at the

Cleveland Clinic, whereas the other recent test, wherein I got flying

colors1 1/2 years ago was done in Holland- so all I can say is either one of

the tests were wrong or my bones suddenly pulverized for no discernable

reason. Diet typically Walfrordian but moderate-no junk food at all (sodas

sweets pastas etc) and I exercise regularly for 20 years with weight lifting

3-4 times a week. Supplement for 30 years. Am well informed etc ad inf- ad

nauseum!

What can I say? Test test test. Had I not insisted on this " extra " test I

wouldn't have found out and would've continued blithly to think I was still

in the upper 2% for bone density.

Needless to say, I will lift weights every day and pound the pavement as

well. Fosamax was recommended and I guess I'll take it until I return to

Holland where I'll ask about Forteo.

I fully intend to turn this around and gain bone mass within the next years

if at all possible.

just thought this may inspire those who haven't tested to do so, and those

who have to repeat the tests periodically.

best wishes

MM

Hi MM,

Sorry for the bad news. I ponder though, if you've been eating

good, exercising for 20 years and supplementing for 30 years,

sounds like you have a calcium absorption problem. Either that or

you are like 90 years old and just now getting osteopenic in which

case I wouldn't be complaining too much. :-)
