@psnmonna,
I'm glad you found a specialist at a university. I have seen 3 endocrinologists near where I live, but feel like I know more than they do. My regular endo even said I do. I am tired of doing my own doctoring!
I think that part of the trouble with bone markers is that they are difficult to order. My doctors kept messing up trying to order them, especially P1NP. My insurance covers them both and repeatedly, when ordered correctly.
I too am taking Tymlos. I am considering going back on Strontium. My regular endo thinks I should take that and raloxifene. The Strontium is just in case it helps. The Raloxifene is to lower my CTX which is up to 1414 on Tymlos.
Good luck with your new endocrinologist!

The raloxifene is a synthetic form of hormone which does not match chemically the hormone which is produced in the human body.
Bioidentical hormones used topically match your bodies' chemical hormones.
Also, DHEA supplements or creams or pregnelone supplements work at the adrenal level to up your hormones naturally.
I would not take any hormone with out a good hormone specialist monitoring and the results from a good hormone work up, saliva test or serum base line test.
A compounding pharmacist will have the names of hormone drs in your area with which they work.
