@gently my doctor does not think bone markers tell the whole story. I am not agreeing or disagreeing because I don't know his full rationale and am going to ask him again.
@255anny do you have a doctor you can trust? It seems as if, at this point, that would help you the most. This forum shares experiences and we all read, watch videos, look at studies but the bottom line is having a doctor you can trust. I think you should be able to ask this question of your endo and if not, maybe a second opinion?

@windyshores, I completely agree with your doctors. Bone markers are just fragments.
But then dxa doesn't tell the whole story. And our doctors, wonderful as they are, aren't omniscient and so can't tell us the whole story.
This member is seeing her doctor tomorrow, planning to ask important questions. Can you think of any way to deepen her understanding and enhance her questioning.

My Dr is new to me but she is not new to Osteoporosis. My old Endo retired - he was very well respected in the US - lots of publications, very active with all bone research and conferences. He was very involved in writing the dosing guides for these drugs. He told me I would be in very good hands with the Dr taking over his practice. But they are 2 people, with different approaches. I will ask her about this.
Thank you for supporting me - this drug decision has been tough. I'm ready to put it away.
