@cstucky I am glad you are feeling strong. One caution, perhaps to others: I have kept a chart of my DEXA's since 2001 and I look at trends over time, not from one DEXA to another, because they are all over the place if compared one to one. There are all kinds of factors affecting scores, including positioning. I was told a difference of -.5 or +.5 is significant. Maybe there are other opinions on this.

The other point is that for DEXA's higher than -3.0 I think it may be reasonable to try diet/supplements and exercise. But as the sufferer of several spinal fractures, I can attest to the fact that there are risks to that approach for more severe cases. That may or may not be obvious but wanted to say it anyway! Lucily @cstucky your scores were/are not severe.

Thanks for the additional input. I guess I'm just very fortunate to not have DEXA numbers higher than -3.0. I wish you all the best on this shared journey.
