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!

I am not sure about their usefulness either. My P1NP has not matched the level of effectiveness of Tymlos and I am still exploring the effect of Evenity. I have one doc who doesn't do the tests, one who does, and McCormick relies on them a lot but in other matters, all three disagree on some things!

There is no magic answer for us and we are all doing the best we can!
