More details that might help further outline what happened to me, probably the most striking is the CTX number, from 10/23 to 9/24 it went from 79 to 613! That was a year off Prolia ( last injection 4/23 and started ibandronate 150 mg in October 2023. Monthly dose. Dexa 10/23 still showed osteopenia, but not worse. So somehow in the span of 8-9 months I had a huge loss. Next dexa is this Monday, and I’m having an Echolight (ultrasound) done in January, which I want to do and will pay out of pocket for. I had no other changes to meds or anything in that time, in fact was exercising more than I had in years. I do have a family history of osteoporosis, my mother developed it early due to early menopause ( she had no HRT either) and had had several fractures before she passed away. So I am praying that Tymlos helps me and gives me time to research what to do after that. I need a new endocrinologist badly, it’s so hard to find one that specializes in osteoporosis!
As far as the Tymlos goes, ppl on this site have helped me by saying they take their shot in the morning (which is TERRIFIC for me) and I got up to the full 8 clicks within 5 weeks. No problem doing it in the mornings, I get busy and don’t notice if my heart beat is a little faster for a while.
