@windyshores, Your baseline CTX may not be accurate due to blood collecting time and morning food. According to what is known about circadian and food effects on CTX, your baseline CTX might have been higher than 324. Also it didn’t appear that you had btms tested during anabolic phase of tymlos so the btms at 16-18mo of tymlos might be at the tail end of therapy. These might explain your earlier btm results? Wish you had btms tested at 3, or6 or 12 mo of tymlos. Despite all this, you had such a wonderful Dexa results, a true success story of tymlos! Then your btms readings during evenity is most perplexing. No pattern for CTX, or P1NP. Please keep us posted of your next Dexa if you could. It will be interesting to see how it comes out.

@mayblin yes exactly. As I said, the 324 was not fasting and was 10:30, the others were 9:30. I don't have any useful bone markers for baseline or Tymlos, and the Evenity ones are puzzling. If I had better P1NP with Evenity it might motivate me to keep going though not sure I can anyway.
