@sebutler thank you very much for sharing - those are really impressive, and enviable gains!

Curious, since you were hoping for 1 year but your doctor recommended 2yr of Fosamax, are they planning to monitor CTX while you're on it? I wonder if they might use that to help guide dosing and/or duration.

@mayblin Yes, my endocrinologist had said she would test my CTX at one year. But I understand from a video @gently posted that it's important to get both the CTX and P1NP measured at the same time, so I will ask her about that when the time comes. The doc sort of said she would use the CTX number to guide treatment. Do you know what the numbers should be?? I know about the 3:1 ratio per Dr. Lucas (from that video). But what's a good number -- Dr. Lucas simply said the higher the ratio better to show you are building bone.
