Hi Michele, I have a form of EDS (not the hEDS type, but my type plus a few other conditions have destroyed my joints and bones). So I highly suggest you get:
- Genetic testing (to rule out other types and confirm hEDS)
- Get with a rheum who will do a dexascan and joint U/S

i did my 3 month dexascan checkin to see how my progress has been going.
I knew i was down about 20lbs on the scale, but seeing my body fat down 5%, cutting my visceral almost in half, and barely losing any lean mass was an insane dopamine hit i needed after a rough few weeks of non-workout stuff

En huuuuu scans zijn ineffectief. Sommige vast, ja. Maar neem bijvoorbeeld een dexascan. In het huidige Nederland komen mensen er pas achter als hun osteoporose al in zo'n vergevorderd stadium is dat ze er een bot door breken.

Oh yes! Dexascan is another important one. And so quick and easy.

DEXAscan gave me a lot of confirmation, but 1 part that shocked me was how low my torso/trunk BF% was. Even w| feeling like I was around 25% overall, I doubted it because when I look at BF charts, they make it seem like at 25% you can’t have muscle definition. Obviously not true. ⚡️ #BlackSkyFitness

Ja, typisch Nederlands. Osteoporose bijvoorbeeld, enorm probleem, maar probeer in ons land maar eens een dexascan te krijgen vóórdat je iets breekt. Dat gaat echt makkelijker bij een privékliniek en lukt misschien sowieso niet via het reguliere circuit. www.spaarnegasthuis.nl/nieuws/osteo...
Osteoporose erg onderschat | Spaarne Gasthuis
Maar liefst 900.000 mensen lijden eraan in Nederland en slechts 20 procent daarvan wordt gediagnosticeerd. Osteoporose is een groot onderschat probleem in onze maatschappij. Daarom zet Marieke van Lie...

It was in the early days... 2020 or 2021... when we first learned that COVID increases one's risk of osteopenia, so yeah... I guess that was right then, and still is.
I need to schedule my Dexascan.

"COVID-19 May Quietly Weaken Bones Long After Recovery"
Researchers warn COVID-19 may have effects beyond the lungs, heart and immune system. A new review suggests infection may cause lasting bone damage, increasing the risk of weaker bones, fractures and impaired bone repair—even after recovery.

It's Friday!!! Yea!!
I should get my DEXA scan results in any day now.
Looks like another triple digit day in the low 100s with only a 10% chance of rain.
Look for another book review on Monday.
Meanwhile, have a wonderful day!

I think I’ll schedule some athletic baseline tests:
- dexascan
- vo2 max
- resting metabolic rate test
Wanna see what happens to numbers if I lock in till end of year…

Totally bummed by my dexascan this weekend… I’ve been making steady progress… but the numbers for the last 3 months dont reflect that… something isn’t working… :-/

Pivotal moment: ik nam zojuist mijn eerste alendroninezuurtablet in.
Na de dexascan bleek dat ik al osteoporose heb.

I was going to ask about osteoporosis. I have it. My cancer med contributes to it. The oncologist wants me to do infusions for it but the side effects scare me. I am trying to do exercises to strengthen my bones but if the next dexascan isn’t good I will have no choice but to get the infusions.

Dexascan showed that I dropped 3% body fat in the last quarter. Amazing what can be accomplished in a short amount of time.

De botmeting doe ik iedere 5j en is gewoon via HA en dan naar ziekenhuis. Tenzij een dexascan nog iets anders is?
De botscan kan ze idd voorschrijven maar ze wou expertise omdat ik nu echt wel heel hard op de sukkel ben met heup/rug.

DEXA Scans and Bone Density Screening
The most common screening tool is a DEXA scan, which measures bone mineral density. It’s quick, non-invasive, and helps determine whether bones fall within normal ranges or show reduced density.

I'm aware how lucky I am in this age of "you've got 10 min" GP services to have the best GP, ever. She rang with my Dexascan result (normal save for a tiny bit of loss at L3, if you must know). She said "I'll give it to ye straight: you've got bones"
I said "oh damn I *knew* it" and we had a giggle.

My dexascan last year showed osteoporosis. I tried the oral medication but after 14 weeks I couldn't tolerate it. In January of this year I did the yearly infusion. Much better outcome.

Doing a dexascan this afternoon to see what actually happened, I'm mostly curious about the visceral fat. But the mental clarity aspects are amazing. I've been so productive.
