Did you have a DEXA scan before the 2 year mark covered by Medicare?

@luckypup You should get it at 12 months. Often, the bulk of the gains with Tymlos and Forteo come in the first year. Why wait 18 months?
Again, if you are taking meds, you can get a DEXA at 12 months and even sooner under Medicare.

@njx58 Thanks for the nudge 🙂 I'm going to continue the Forteo regardless so it just depends how much else is "on my plate" for whether to add another test in. It's still an option as I'm only 6 months in.
