@njx58 Thanks for the nudge 🙂 I'm going to continue the Forteo regardless so it just depends how much else is "on my plate" for whether to add another test in. It's still an option as I'm only 6 months in.

@luckypup I think it's good to get bone markers at least every six months while on the meds (to show that you're getting a response), and an annual DEXA. I'm someone who wants more information sooner ! I get impatient. 🙂
When I first started Tymlos, the doctor checked P1NP and CTX at three months just to make sure that Tymlos was working.
