Are you comparing your REMs results with a previous REMs or with a previous DXA? Many of us have had better results on the REMs than we did with DXA, but they are different technologies and cannot be directly compared for improvement. I have had two REMs, a year apart, at the same time as DXAs, and although the DXA lumbar T score continues to decline, now at -3.7, the REMs remained basically the same, at -1.8. which is good, Now I just have to decide which test I want to believe and which one I will continue to have done, because consistency is key to determining progress or decline.

FYI, I watched a live video today with Irma Jennings from Bone Tribe interviewing a lady named Barb and her bone journey on Prolia. During the discussion REMs came up, Irma thought the REMS was better but she did say the DEXA is the gold standard. A lady who was listening came on and said she no longer gets DEXAs as she is very small and her doctor told her to only get a REMS in the future. Irma did say she was going to post the video on Youtube.
