@willowmena Sounds like I will have to beg my doc to "code" it as medically necessary; since he said Medicare only does every two years and therefor, he wasn't scheduling me one. I get (now, after digging on the internet, not from any information I received from doctors) that BMD changes slowly, if at all sometimes on these meds; however, this is a very anxiety producing condition I gotta have some peace of mind other than a CTX bone marker test! I have been religious about supplements the doctor said to take, working my little butt off with exercise (done aerobics with weights most of my life, just cranked it up) and I'm supposed to wait 2 years to see if any of it is doing any good? Sheesh.
