Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this matter. I still struggle with understanding conceptually the osteoclast/osteoblast connection.
Especially good to know that the CTX may continue to decrease with further Fosomax use. But it would be nice to know what the CTX target might be.
I would like to stop the Fosamax ASAP. Ever since I learned that a problem with this medication is that it interferes with the removal of old bone so that new bone may be forming on a foundation of old bone rather than on a cleaned up base (or not even new bone forming at all) I have wanted to say good-by to Fosamax.
How long do you think you have to be off Fosamax in order to reset if future treatment with an anabolic is warranted????????
Best of luck with your own osteo progress and thank you. You certainly have helped many of us on Connect.

Thank you, rjd but i think you may have given me too much credit! I don't have any medical background and whatever i know comes from articles that i have read, most of which i have linked to in my earlier posts. Hence, whatever i write here should be treated as merely my opinion
Like you, i wish to ease off Prolia the earliest possible and am relying on BTM tests to guide me. It is interesting that you asked about the length of time needed for "reset" because, if you go to my profile you will find that my very first post and the first discussion i started was titled "How Long For Body To Reset?" ! You may want to read the responses in that thread, in particular from gently, although i think there was no definitive answer
All the best
