These tests are irrelevant for me @sheilad1. I have been dealing with osteoporosis for 14 years and as I wrote before, already have 7 spinal fractures. I did have a baseline CTX but it honestly was not that useful. I have an excellent doctor who has been in the field forever, and also talk with Dr. McCormick.

I don't see any scores for you, for bone density or bone quality. I would be interested in seeing them at the time when you had osteoporosis, then osteopenia and then back to normal.

I think that BOTH density and quality are important. Tests for density (DEXA) have been a pretty good measure of my situation and I have charted them since 2001 so I can see trends over time.
