How long has it been since your last DEXA and what were they results then?

It is amazing how regular aerobic activity can make a person feel so good and even sleep better. Good for you.

Morning~
I appreciate your quex and reply.
I had my last DEXA over a year ago....It showed that I had indeed lowered my minus numbers...and that news was a great ego boost!...but, I realize that by taking strontium...those favorable numbers could be affected and not to be taken as being 'right on'.
I will ask my NP when I see her in March about some other bone density test I can take that would be more reliable....to show more valid percentages.
Since I'm not going to be taking the pharmaceuticals for my osteo...I've been working on re-gaining not only my bone density, but also looking to be in better health in general.
I so agree with you about getting our bodies going! It doesn't matter what one does ..well except for activities that could be detrimental to us..but, within reason..let's go for it!! I do feel ever so much better in just the couple of weeks I've been consistently using my treadmill..and getting my heart rate raised much more than I had been. I've lost a couple of pounds as well!
Keeping positive and grateful about what life is offering me at this time, keeps me motivated. Cutting down on stress is most important as well. If we do the best we can..that's good enough! We have to remember to be kind to our 'bodies'..and not be disappointed by test scores.
I wish you all the very best you can be. Enjoy your days.
