@laurafuentes I'm sorry to hear that tymlos didn't work out for you, hope you have a great success on forteo.
I'm wondering how high your p1np and ctx went after 2 months of tymlos, do you mind share? Having tested only couples of times, my p1np was at 400 after 13 mo of forteo (no ctx). At 17 mo, p1np was at 200 and ctx at 900, which worries me somewhat. My high p1np also didn't correlate high gains in bmd, only average-ish on L spine, no hip or femoral neck gain. I'm eager to see what second year result will reveal.
In addition, what relay drug did you take after evenity, and before tymlos?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry, @mayblin, I misread your question about the relay drug. I did not take anything between my last Evenity shot on November 1, 2023 and starting Tymlos on December 22. So there was a 3-week gap when I guess my bones were unprotected (Dec 1 - 21).

@mayblin Here are answers to your questions about my blood test results after taking Tymlos for 2 months:
P1NP
Dec. 1, 2023 30 March 5, 2024 112
CTX
Dec 1, 2023 205 March 5, 2024 774
I used Tymlos full-strength, daily, from Dec 22 to Feb 10, then reduced dose to 50% or 37.5%, till Feb 21. (Total, 2 months.)
I don't know what these numbers mean, honestly. My doctor's message about these results said only that Tymlos had the "expected effect."
Not sure what's meant by "relay drug." I didn't take anything for the 3 weeks between stopping Tymlos and starting Forteo. (So far, doing alternate days is feeling fine.)
Wishing everyone the best!
