I believe much has to do with how much effort your physician will put into it. Some will just stick with the customary two year protocol and look no further if there are exceptions. If the physician states you are already being treated for Osteoporosis, an annual DXA can be ordered. I have a rheumatologist that won’t even try. I just went out and paid for a REMS out of pocket for my own peace of mind. Same rheumatologist has no interest in looking at the REMS result. One must really advocate. It’s exhausting but usually worth it.

I'd be happy to pay for REMS, but there aren't any providers near me. I'd love to have some baseline scans and testing done, but since I'm not buying what they are selling, I, too am exhausted from attempts to get any medical doctor's support beyond their standard protocols
