Hi Mayblin!
My baseline CTX is 742 and P1NP is 68. I just started taking Teriparatide this week so it's my first osteoporosis medication for me. My primary care doctor was able to order the test due to my mom having that inherited blood clotting condition.
Amen to you about caregiving! We often forget to take good care of ourselves while caregiving a loved one. But if we are not well, we won't be able to care for them. I have been trying to heal and recover but it's been a rough road for me after all that has happened in just a matter of 6 months. You take care of yourself.

Mayblin, yes, my functional medicine aprn will be monitoring my bone markers while on Teriparatide. I have an appointment with McCormick in May for a bone consultation too. My endocrinologist is not working with me very well. Still in the process of getting an appointment with UCONN Osteoporosis center with a qualified doctor. Right now, I have an appointment with a new doctor there, however, I researched this doctor and she has a rating of 1 out of 5! No thank you. And then I got bit by a dog so that side tracked me to book an appointment with a well qualified and good patient rating. Don't care if they then schedule an appointment until the end of the year. I still have my current endocrinologist to lean on.
