I understand you to say that your 'bone break down rate' is measured by a simple blood test. What precisely is the name of this blood test?

It is inspiring to hear that there might be a measurable goal in treating osteoporosis that is not connected to a DEXA score. DO you also get annual DEXA scores and if so, would you mind sharing your last scores and whether there is a correlation between that score and your 'bone break down rate?'

Best of luck in continuing your treatment of osteoporosis. Thanx for the information.
