Whoops, I tapped something wrong and posted before I was finished. My DEXA scan report came back with severe osteoporosis several years ago. I refused to take meds due to possible side effects and I am moderately active, other than that I have not extensively done anything to change my bone health. I try to eat healthy, but it's not super great. For the most part I am doing well at 68. Which is correct,I wonder the CT scan or the DEXA or someone is not interpreting the test right. I just go day to day and try not to worry.
