I have been struggling with serious side effects from teriparatide over 8 months and my endocrinologist told me to stop taking it on June 1. I wanted to get a DEXA scan done to see if I had any gain (I did not) and when I went to schedule online, I was surprised to see that the health system said I could have it done once a year if I was on Medicare and I'd been on a medication and wanted to see if it was working. You might want to check this. I'm sure this applies to everyone on Medicare.

@barb3 If you're on Medicare and are currently taking medication for osteoporosis, you can actually have a DEXA more than once a year. I had them eleven months apart.
