Thanks. So much food for thought!!! I never had a baseline CTX pre evenity. This is my 1st one. I completed a year of evenity about 3 months ago.

It still astounds me that doctors do not do a baseline reading of bone turnover markers (CTX for Bone resorption, P1NP for bone building) before starting any OP medications. How would they know the medication is working? Wait 1-2 years until the next DEXA??. I would recommend asking your doctor to do CTX and P1NP testing every 3-6 months just to check those numbers so you would know the meds are doing what they are supposed to do. Good luck 🍀
