i was on Fosamax several years ago for about five years. Then I went on Evista for several years until five years ago. I had something called NTX recently which was 39 ad CTX which was 233. These were about the same one year ago.

@serious from what ive read, your CTX level seemed reasonable after being on a bisphosphonate such as risedronate, although it could be a lot lower if fosamax or reclast is used. That being said, bear in mind that since risedronate is a weaker bisphosphonate and a shorter-acting one, your CTX might need to be monitored more frequently if you'd like to have an extended holiday. This could be a discussing point with your endo.
