Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

Hi @windyshores. Thank you, I appreciate your reply. This was a serum NTX. The reference range is 6.2 - 19.0. My previous result in 8/23 after Evenity was 4.8. I don't know if my current endo ordered a CTX, so I've messaged him. Hopefully he has ordered it or if not will do so if I request it. From what I've read, the serum NTX is not a reliable source to evaluate resorption, and my previous metabolic bone specialist didn't utilize it.

@hollygs thank you for your info. Since many of us don't run into an NTX, it was helpful. I wonder- ask your doctor- if Tymlos raises the NTX well above normal-? Curious to hear what your doctor says and what your CTX is if it was done.
I have been told that Evenity raises P1NP and lowers CTX so it makes sense that the NTX was below reference range for Evenity. So maybe you are comparing a lowered value on Evenity with a raised value on Tymlos. Let us know what your doctor says!
