REMS (Echolight) Scan - anyone?

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 had a REMS of my lumbar spine this past summer with a score of -2.8. My prior DEXA showed -4.0 of the same area. I have no compression fractures, feel fine, and have been working out regularly with strength training and Pilates for the past 10 years. I am 5 feet 2 inches and have small bones, which may have influenced DEXA score.
