Initial blood tests to ask for ?

I posted because my doc said to test it on day 14. I had a P1NP at day 30 that was disappointing. I already have guidance from MD and was just sharing what I learned 🙂 Leder's chart simplifies it by month and my doc was more specific about testing at peak time, day 14 (or 12). I was sharing this info with others.

Hi windy you know you are in great hands no matter what! Your shared experiences are very valuable to countless people. I'm grateful to have these first hand information and sure many others do too.

There are times I ponder the true value of bone markers during therapy and felt for most part they give the assurance of a drug that is working, not so much if a patient is not a responder. In my case im a high responder with an average dexa results. Of course btms have other uses especially as a baseline before any therapies. My curiosity also takes over with a newer drug like evenity. So thank you so much for sharing and best wishes for your continued success!
