@mayblin I asked about a DEXA a few weeks ago and MD responded next year. I could ask him with the caveat that I will pay if insurance doesn't. There is good reason medically to do one but my doc would have to write a letter.

The thing is, I think part of me doesn't want to know:) I had COVID and was in the hospital in November and for maybe three weeks did not do Tymlos. Then a few weeks of partial (tapering) and then Evenity Jan.6. My P1NP was not well-timed but showed no increase on Evenity.

My doc does not do bone markers and I occasionally have my PCP do them. But I think I have come to have a sort of macro/holistic view given all the factors to look at and my main goal is not to fracture. No fractures since 4/21. I get x-rays every once in awhile.

I am pretty sure my DEXA had a different "area of interest" and there are so many variables that I am not even sure a DEXA would help. I have kept a chart since 2001 and the DEXA's jump around a bit. People post about changes like -.1 or -.2 which just aren't meaningful at all.

With any testing, I ask, "will I change what I am doing?" The answer is no. So I tend to not do the tests! Slow medicine!
