@kristie2 I get my second infusion of Reclast tomorrow. Curious if you want to share what your Dexa was before your first infusion? You indicated -3 currently. I absolutely cannot get a DEXA every year even though Medicare will cover but the hospital group my doc is with won't - so I don't know per the gold standard DEXA test if my first year of Reclast did much. I can only get a DEXA after 2 years of Reclast. Per doc my CTX score says the drug is working well (52 before Reclast, 78 a year after infusion). I am sure hoping that reclast (was told a powerful drug that should improve bone density greatly) is going to improve my bone health!

@jozer I started with a DEXA of -4.6 and have been able to get them yearly. My DEXA prior to this one was -3.2. I’m sure I will now only be able to get one every 2 years. I can then pay for a REMS test which is about $300. Out of pocket.
