Happy New Year to all fellow PMR and GCA sufferers. I am still trying to work out my Dexa scan results, i have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis in my left hip (Dr says if i have it in my left i prob have in my right, but it doesnt say on report) the report says Femoral Neck (left) 0.570-2.5 -0.6 Osteoporosis Total Hip (left) 0.710-1.9-0.3 Ostepenia AP Spine (L1-L4) 0.779-2.4-0.3 Ostepenia They have started me on AA which i really did not want to take. Can anyone tell me how bad this is and do i really need to take this, I already take Natecal, i havnt had any broken bones and am down to 7mg. Another piece of advice needed i am thinking of going straight to 6mg for a month being as i have been so good previously going down by .5 do u think this is pushin it. All advice gratefully received Thanks Liz

Also, having been very ill in 2012, when I needed a long term recovery and hyperalimentation IV, my body lost bone and muscle.
