Worried about starting Tymlos Wednesday and question about P1NP score

Thank you, gently! I will definitely hydrate before the shot and eat something a bit salty - thanks for the tips! I do plan to repeat the bone markers in 3-6 months, but it sounds like doing it closer to 3 months is preferable? Also, since my bone markers reflect that I am losing bone slowly, it sounds like that is a good time to start Tymlos?

@hopeandhope if you don't have low blood pressure, you may not need to worry about hydration and salty snacks. I bought a blood pressure cuff because I have low blood pressure and at times, Tymlos lowered systolic by about 20 points. It does not harm to hydrate and snack of course. But after awhile I stopped worrying about it and put the blood pressure cuff in the closet 🙂

The timing is good ; I agree with windyshores. Compliments to your endocrinologist for sticking to her original recommendation and for ordering bone markers.
