Thank you for answering my initial inquiry.
I’m so frustrated that my doctor did no bone marker tests when I started Tymlos a year ago. So- I have no idea why the dexa showed no improvement.
Other tests were done and all were normal but no bone marker tests were done prior to starting.
My Dr said to continue the Tymlos for the second year anyway 😖 I’m not satisfied with her direction but since I don’t feel bad on the Tymlos ( other than belly fat )
I am continuing with it. On month 14 now.
She said maybe it is helping bone “ quality” that doesn’t show on dexa scans?
What do you think of that?
Any marker tests I can do to determine bone quality?
And do you know of anybody who improved bone density in dexa in SECOND year of Tymlos ?

I am not a bone doctor but I have not heard of anyone having 'no gains in the first year' and then having 'gains the secodn year' on tymlos. In fact in my case, the second year cause decreased in cortical bone and furhter decrease in bone microarchesture. We are all different - only some people respond in this way.
Please read Great Bones so you can ask informed questions. Please Get a second opionon. I have 3 endocrinolgist on my team.
If you need boen building and tymlos is not working perhaps you can switch to Evenity. I had to fight for that but finally got the docs to prescribe and now I am finally improving. BLessings to yu
