Great idea @loriesco - I, too, began writing things down. Questions for the doc, answers from the doc, what tests were performed and when, except when I miss a crucial detail: Why did I have blood drawn four times in five days?! Sadly, the request disappears after the blood is drawn, never to be seen or heard from again, waaaah!
I was happy to have my post-med DEXA done on a new machine . . . new bones, new equipment ;). There's a good chance the old DEXA scanner was really old - six or seven have been recently replaced within my network. My new bones are considerably better than my old ones, and I'm happily using these numbers as my baseline for future testing.
Fingers crossed that your DEXA results are positive! Cheers!

In my medical system the request disappears after the service occurs but the test results are available online - with all my medical providers. One more point I’d like to make is that the DEXA aren’t perfect. I’ve had Diaz on the same equipment and increasingly better DEXA over the years but when I went in for surgery last summer, my cervical vertebrae C5 fell apart in the doctors hand. It was paper thin, none of us had a clue. So with all my joint replacements, the smaller joints that they can do the taxes on are not indicative of some of the other joint conditions in my body I don’t know what the answer is except for now I know not to feel , entirely secure about the DEXA readings. Good luck to you too!
