Just go my Dexa scan numbers back:
2016: hip -1.5.
2018 hip -2.2.
That's a 47% decrease.
2018: lumbar -.03.
2018 lumbar -1.2.
That's a 300% decrease.
I'm a 54 year old male, non-smoker, non-drinker, with no family history of osteoporosis who walks a lot. At this rate, my bones will be balsa wood in a few years.
My PTH is borderline high (60-70 usually) but normally not off the charts.
What's going on?! Between this and my copper deficiency which isn't responding to 50 mg oral a day AND multiple sets of infusions I feel like I'm falling apart...
