How long did your doc have you on Tymlos?

How high was your P1NP before you started Tymlos? 310 seems a bit high, but if it’s coming down from a higher number, that’s good. Hopefully, you can get that CTX number lower as well.

@dooshie I think we want a high P1NP. Tymlos raises both P1NP and CTX. At least for a year or year and a half in my experience.

I am trying to learn about these bone turnover markers in blood tests. I see a "C-Telopeptide, Serum" (up to 778 from 590 three months ago), "N-Telopeptide, Urine" (which gives me a NTx of 58, too high), a "Propeptide Type I Collagen" (up to 220 from 191 three months ago). My doctor did these tests, but all he told me was that my Vitamin D is too low, even though the report says the PT1C is too high. Can someone explain these to me? I am postmenopausal, going on 15 years now.
I was completely exhausted and weak on TYMLOS after 6 months. I cut back 5 days ago, as someone here suggested, rather than go cold turkey, as my doctor suggested. I feel so much better! So, what happens on the 50 dose rather than 80 rather? Do you stay on it longer, or do you have to work back to 80?
Thanks!
