Is a dexa every 2 years enough?

@babs10 there are a couple of places that do dexa plus tbs, I think a lot more will eventually. I am trying to do what I’ve done in the past, per doctors referral, at the center that doesn’t have tbs but it is the same machine I have had last two on, since supposedly same machine is so darned important. Discussed that with doc, he said if you can use same machine great, if you can’t not to worry. Machines are replaced, technicians quit, patients move! My next step is to see if I can go elsewhere for dexa with tbs, especially since doc said treatment would not change, so it is for my reference only. I just need to see if Reclast worked as well as I was told it would when I had the infusion a year ago. If not I need to know that, and why.

@jozer I can't put my finger on it but there is a place to research TBS locations. I found mine on ChatGPT.

Here's an article I thought was interesting and easy to understand.
