This disease is just getting more and more complex. How do you do it all and keep track of it all and know what experts to believe?

Oh my goodness that’s must have been awful. It seems like a lot of us find out we have it by surprise. Heck of a deal!

I had a dexa scan in 2023, diagnosing me with severe osteoporosis. I learned about an echolight scan in late 2024 through conversations on the forum here. I scheduled a Echolight scan, and in January of 2025, I found that I did not have osteoporosis. There are 3 zones, green, yellow and red. Osteoporosis is the red zone, the yellow zone is osteopenia, and the green is where your bone is healthy. I found that I was in the green zone. I question the dexascan, and I did. I now have learned that the dexa scan was wrong. Get both if possible and compare. The Echolight scan shows the integrity of the bone and gives a much better synopsis of the bone and where the bone is at. I have heard, that the machines that do the dexascan can be off, in my case, it proved that I was not suffering from osteoporosis. The insurance did not cover the scan, but it was worth every penny!
