Did you go to the place in Blackfoot? I contacted them to ask some questions but haven’t booked anything yet. I was surprised that you can self-refer - no need for a doctor’s referral.
Buddy was a great help to me. I had a terrible result on my DEXA - spine - 4.3 but I felt healthy and strong and there were no compression fractures when I had an X-ray done. I got an REMS scan and my severe osteoporosis went to osteopenia with a score of -2.1. That number fits in better as to how I feel and walk. I think the REMS scan is more accurate. Because of the difference with my DEXA score, Buddy gave me a followup REMS scan for free and it confirmed the earlier reading. It costs very little to get this followup and worth every penny.
I plan to get an REMS every year so that I can track my progress.
I have an appointment with him today! 👍 I was planning to fly to Toronto for one.
