@hollygs for my education, can you explain why Tymlos raises CTX but lowers NTX? I thought they would be the same. Can you direct me to a source? I thought that Evenity lowered it and Forteo/Tymlos would raise it but I have no idea how much.

My doctor doesn't do any blood bone marker tests but I have had them done by PCP and interpreted by McCormick. They haven't reflected what is actually going on according to the DEXA but my timing may have been off in terms of how long treatment had been doing on. All very confusing.

@windyshores I couldn't recall the exact source(s) I found, but in order to answer your question, I just googled "why does tymlos raise ctx and lower ntx" and the first thing that popped up is an AI overview that also contains several links. It's excellent! It's not possible to link it, so let me know if you have access. If not, I can copy the main text and send you the referenced links. I bet if you pose your question here, you'll get some interesting responses.
