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.

Thank you so much for the information @doglover1962! I will ask my cardiologist or gyn to see if I need the test.

Looks like your start of teriparatide is pretty smooth, other than what happened or is ongoing. Grieving is a painful and long process. Take one day at a time. Learning a new hobby may help by distracting and refocusing.

Yeah finding a good endo who fits your need is crucial! Hope you will meet yours soon (ask to be put on a waiting list).

All the best!
