Bone Density Scan
Medical Information:  What is a DEXA scan (According to WebMD)

December 2018
As Colin continues his use of Prednisone, doctor's want to keep an eye on his bone health.
They ordered a DEXA scan at his baseline, in the beginning and have ordered a follow up DEXA scan this week.
According to Mayo Clinic, "Corticosteroids also can dramatically weaken bones and lead to osteoporosis".

 He is currently taking supplemental Calcium and vitamin D as well as Vitamin D2

 According to the Arthritis Foundation  "Prednisone, a corticosteroid drug used for decades to control inflammation, is one of the notorious culprits in bone mineral density loss."
