The score is just a snapshot of what exists in the locations where it was seen, and the number compares to others with varying degrees of deposition. Your number is high, but you're asymptomatic and you've caught it before 'The Big One.' So, the score is only somewhat predictive of a danger over the next years, but probably NOT something to worry about for the next full year, during which you will receive treatment. Had you reported to us that you do have symptoms, then my previous statements would have been couched in more supportive and encouraging terms such as, 'Do work closely with your physicians to get any further deterioration slowed drastically or stopped.'

BTW, people post here all the time with higher scores, so you can't claim to be at the top of any heap I'm aware of. 😀

I really like this gentleman physician. He gives balanced information (I'm not him, and don't know him or have any financial ties to him in any way, just a fan):
