I had to look through all my old records to try to figure out the change that probably occurred due to Tymlos. Almost all of my readings are from different doctors and different labs, which may or may not be comparable. Every lab seems to present the data in different ways, and some labs provide very little information. The most comparable numbers I could find in my records indicated that in 2017 my hip BMD was 0.744 and my spine BMD was 0.879. I started Tymlos in 2022. I do not have good data for the time between 2017 and 2022. In 2024, after two years on Tymlos, the hip BMD was 0.8175 (average of several measurements) and the spine was 1.064. I calculate the percent change in these BMD readings as +10% for the hip and +21% for the spine. I'm not an expert on this, so I wouldn't want anyone to make a life decision based on my calculations. Nevertheless, I understand the interest in getting information, which we all want more of! I compared BMD instead of T or Z scores because the BMD is what is actually measured.
