My Echolight experience

I went for a REMS Echolight scan today. It's like a sonogram: the technician has a wand, and they put gel on you and rub the wand on it. You are on your back. For your spine, they rub the wand on your stomach, which is why they tell you to fast so that there's nothing in the way. Then the machine processes the analysis and prints out a pretty report showing where you are on the T-score chart, with red/orange/green bands so that you can see what zone you're in. It also provides L1/L2/L3/L4 scores, and assigns a five-year fragility risk.

I'm not sure what to make of the results. In January, my L1-thru-L4 T-scores were -3.2,-2.8,-2.8,-3.4. After eight months of Tymlos, this scan shows -2.3,-2.6,-1.7,-1.7. They said the scores tend to be a little better with Echolight since it assesses quality as well as density. So, I'm hoping I made some progress. I have another DEXA scheduled in January (same doctor, same machine.) We'll see what it says.
