How do you ever choose which med?

@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!

@jozer
My Dr said she can order another DEXA at one year. She said she just needs to change the code. I’m assuming either the diagnosis code or the reasoning code. Can’t hurt to ask about it.
