Thanks so much for sending this! I’m finally approved for Tymlos and had an appointment with rheumatologist. I asked about the tests and he mainly does calcium and dexa. He told me endocrinologists are more likely to do the CTX and P1NP and would not order them or any of the other tests mentioned. He said if I really wanted the tests he would refer me to an endo, was very nice about it but didn’t want to do the tests.

So, I’ll see if pcp will order them and will probably switch to an endo. I have an appointment set up with endo at Mayo the end of June.

@mayblin did you have the 24hr urine calcium test with creatinine because of high calcium or it was just a preliminary test you doctor would have ordered for most patients on an anabolic?
