@njx58 thank you so much. Its all so confusing as to all the steps i need to do, & i’m not getting much guidance from endocronologist, other than to order & start full dose of Tymlos. He said nothing about testing, so i guess i’ll have to call & ask his nurse.

@patst I recently finished a two-year course of Tymlos. Here's what we did:
1. Baseline DEXA and blood tests (including P1NP, CTX, calcium, PTH)
2. Follow-up blood tests at three months, six months, nine months
3. DEXA at one-year mark, plus blood test
4. Blood test at 18 months
5. DEXA at two-year mark. Blood test. Start Fosamax.
6. I will have a blood test three months into the Fosamax treatment just to monitor.
7. DEXA probably every year.
