Bone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP): do you have a baseline?

Hi @bluebonnet242 your baseline bone markers (5.5 month after fracture) looked okay, my opinion. Some practitioners would like to see a lower CTX level, but your P1NP level compensated for it, although it’s hard to tell how much this set btms were influenced by the fracture healing process.

Were your fractures due to low or high impact accidents? Have you and your endo ruled out major causes of your osteoporosis, including sifting through your rx uses such as oral corticosteroids, ppi etc.?

Wish the drug of your choice - Tymlos help you greatly!

Thanks. My endo hasn’t asked me much. I asked her for some preliminary tests. My fracture was from a hard fall on cement. I have been a good walker and have worked out for many years. I have celiac and hypothyroidism and may have been over medicated. I took Armour thyroid which suppressed my tsh for years. The doctor was trying to keep my free t3 and free t4 in normal range. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Only steroid use was for a sinus infection and was not long term. I’ve had many fractures as a child. I did not like milk so lack of calcium as a child. I feel like it may have been from my celiac which took a long time to diagnose.

I have an appointment with another endo at Mayo in July and hoping she will know more.
