I really wanted to get up to 7 or 8 clicks. I am feeling uncertain about 2 clicks but defer to docs that people have. I do think comparison with mcg in Forteo may not be valid because one is a synthetic hormone and one a synthetic protein. Maybe Tymlos is less direct, as I wrote before-??

@drsuefowler can you ask the radiologist to adjust for strontium? Do you take 680mg? That is the therapeutic dose and will definitely affect the DEXA as you know. Did your doc say it was okay to take both Tymlos and strontium? There is some info on combination therapies (McCormick and Leder's video) so I am curious.

@windyshores I am taking half a dose of Strontium now, but most of the last year I only took 300mg nightly. I didn't ask my endo about Stontium. The problem is he is so busy that there is a lack of communication. I write and call but don't get a response. I have had to stop by the office to talk to the nurse and that doesn't always work. I finally was able to get an appointment on January 18th. I need to look at McCormick and Leder's video. Thanks so much for your comments.
