Wow, thank you so much @windyshores 😊 You are incredibly knowledgeable about all of this. It sounds like you may have an excellent doctor taking care of your osteoporosis. What are the two blood tests that you mentioned? What do they measure? Thank you so much for sharing your helpful information!

@hello1234 thank you. You might want to get Dr. Keith McCormick's recent book "Great Bones" at the library or online. Dr. Ben Leder from MGH also has an excellent video about Sequencing and Combinations of meds online.
CTX measures bone turnover, which is targeted by bisphosphonates, Prolia and, to a lesser degree, Evenity.
P1NP assesses bone formation and is especially relevant for Tymlos, Forteo and Evenity. Good luck!
