I just got my DEXA results back. This is my second testing after having one done in December while I was taking Strontium. I have been on Tymlos for 6 months and now take 40 mcg, a half dose nightly. My DEXA results on Strontium were so impossibly good that I wanted to be retested. I stopped taking Strontium for 26 days. I then compared my current results with my results from December, 2021.
My lumbar spine has improved from -2.9 to -2.2.
My right and left femoral neck did not change significantly.
I believe that the improvement in my spine is from the half dose of Tymlos. Does anyone know how to calculate the percentage of improvement? It seems that I saw it somewhere on this website but I am unable to find it.

@drsuefowler the percentage change is always on my report.
The effects of strontium won't go away if you stopped for 26 days.
That seems like a big change on half dose of Tymlos for 6 months but who knows. It would be great if you could find a radiologist who could tell you what the gain is while doing a calculation for the strontium.
