I had an Echolight REMS scan yesterday. In Owings Mills, MD, at OsteoCoach, for those of you in the DC metro area. While my DEXA scores put me firmly in Osteoporosis and have my doctor wanting to start meds (spine: -3.2, total hip: -2.7, femoral neck: -3.1), my REMS scores are far better and indicate that I’m firmly in the range for Osteopenia (spine: -1.8, total hip: -1.8, femoral neck: -2.2). Also the bone mineral density numbers were better in the REMS and the fracture risk assessment score was pretty low. So now I will bring this information back to my doctor and rethink going on meds. Am trying to build bone via a lot of weightlifting, tap dancing, and yoga along with calcium, vitamin D, and may start vitamin K.
