@jozer As far as yearly DEXA scans, I've read the reason that DEXA scans are only done every two years is because bone density changes are often so slow that they may be smaller than the measurement error of the scanners.

@daisy17 I have since discovered in the last year that bone density changes are slow...my doc indicated when he ordered Reclast that I could possibly have a "one and done" situation; that if my numbers move to osteopenia, I may be able to work on bone health without another infusion. CTX/NTX scores were great; he said that indicates the drug is working; thus no need for a DEXA however I need to see the numbers on the "gold standard" DEXA. Private pay for me!
