Yes, my doctor had me repeat tests:
Start: P1NP 36, CTX 305
Five months: P1NP 58, CTX 188
Eight months: P1NP 54, CTX 165
Today: still waiting for results
So my P1NP never really got that high. My CTX dived, so I guess the ratio of the two was improving, My vitamin D was below normal at 27 at the five-month mark, but I've raised it to 45.
Now... I don't know if biology plays a role. I'm a 66-year-old man who is 5-11 and active, including running and resistance training. Does that impact the markers? No idea.

Yay to you njx58!! ! Congrats and thank you for sharing. Can you share what resistance training you are doing? I have always been active but am now hyper focused on specific OP exercises. I am in a 2day/wk resistance training program for OP and eager to learn what your program is. I am proud to say, after 5 months, I am now up to 2 sets of 5 military pushups (couldn't even lift myself up in August) with the goal to get to 2 sets of 12; farmer carries (up to 20lb) single arm for 3 sets of 1 min ea; and lastly 3 sets ea of various pulley machine exercises. I also use a treadmill (walking) for 2-4 miles/day. My P1Np also did not rise much; 82 at start to 94 at 6 months. I will have my DEXA in May, after 1 year on TYMLOS. Mostly I feel so much better mentally as well as physically with this routine that whatever May results are, I know I am in a better place.

Thank you very much for sharing your treatment experiences with tymlos. Your P1Np didnt change "much", but increased greater than 10 mcg/L which was considered as a therapy target in some clinical studies. CTX reduction, which could occur with tymlos although not common, definitely helped. It's very interesting how each individual's bone markers act differently to pth analogs. Thanks again.
