Timing of Bone Markers - how often?

Oh yes, I am taking supplements. I do try and get my calcium from foods, but it's hard. The calcium supplements are constipating for me and I have to avoid that happening due to the diverticulitis. MK4 and MK7 give me crazy heart palpitations, so those are a big no. I was not afraid of the Osteo meds til I had to choose between Prolia or Reclast. (Long thread about my decision in this group) I went with the Reclast because I was concerned about the rebounding of Prolia. And I didn't like the sequencing of Evenity > Prolia > Evenity that my Osteo expert Dr was suggesting!

Prolia rebound fractures are no joke, happens to the best of us 😉
It sounds like you are doing everything you can for yourself.
For many people osteoporosis meds are for life. Unfortunately this isn’t a condition that gets permanently better after a round or two of treatment.
Keep researching and keep insisting when it comes to the treatment you feel most comfortable with.
Follow your gut.
