Timing of Bone Markers - how often?

Hi @255anny In my opinion, if your doctor is going to adhere to pre-planned treatment schedule and sequence no matter what (bone markers results are), then bone markers may not be necessary, unless you'd like to have a record just in case you need them in the future. Baseline is always good to have!

IV Reclast does not present bioavailability problems like oral bisphosphanates do. Unless your baseline CTX is very high, Reclast can supress your CTX quite well. This is why some endos use CTX level to determine when to dose the next one.

What osteomed have you had prior to reclast?

Hi there! Thanks for the info. I need to revisit all my books and noted regarding Osteo. It's so overwhelming. My previous meds were 2 yrs Forteo (no improvement) 1 yr Evenity, marginal improvement. I started at -5.2 in my spine, so I will be on meds for the rest of my life.
