Good evening @catluvr999. I am back. By the way, are you one of the folks that finds it hard to go back to a previous post........I do. The "Bookmark" feature in your profile really helps. After posting a reply or comment.....just click on the three dots and then on Bookmark. It takes you to your profile so you can find the post without hunting around.
So.....you want my T-scores. I am not an expert on this subject so, please be gentle. I hope this is helpful and would appreciate your feedback. These are all from the same Hologic Discovery densitometry system. The baseline is 10/29/18. The next one is post-Tymlos on 11/18/20. The last scan was 7/9/22.
Hip: -1.5 baseline and -1.2. Bone mineral density has not significantly changed having increased 0.9% since the previous scan.
Wrist: -3.4 baseline and then -3.2. Bone mineral density is increased by 2.6% which is not statistically significant.
Does this tell you anything about my rather rough experience and the medical value of the current weekly pill format as opposed to monthly injections? I call it, "taking less more frequently".
May you have ease and contentment.
Chris
