I am now 2 years since starting Prednisolone and am down to a comfortable dose of 5mg daily. Since starting Prednisolone I have been on Alendronic ac, never having had a Dexa scan. Now I have decided to stop the Alendronic and would like to know how long I should sensibly (especially considering difficulty of getting one now, even privately) before getting a Dexa?
