I was not told to fast so had my normal cup of coffee, with sugar, before the blood draw. That was at 9:30 AM. I am not a breakfast eater.

At the time, I had started taking a Calcium supplement, possibly with Vit D3. I refuse to be a pill junkie so currently limit my intake to 5 pills, not servings (that includes presciption medication) a day and they are all taken at the same time

Hi @normahorn thank you very much for clarifying. Your baseline is interesting because neither ctx or p1np shows anything unusual. Your ctx is pretty low compared to most postmenopausal women, or we can say your ctx falls within the lower half of a young woman's value. Interesting. Do you have osteoporosis or osteopenia? What did your doctor say about your situation?

I recall you actually have a thread about CLL, I'm so sorry to hear that and wish it stays where it is. At the same time, I wonder if it causes your bone problem, if any?

Wish you all the best!
