Timing of Tymlos Injection-AM vs PM

Boy, can I relate. I went to an endocrinologist, but even he would not have ordered the baseline P1NP and CTX. I requested those after reading Dr. McCormick's book "Great Bones." Very informative book! Then the endocrinologist suddenly retired without warning and my new one is only in clinic once a week. She did order a 24 hour urine calcium test, which shows I have extremely excessive urine calcium. But because the first endocrinologist didn't get a baseline on that test, we don't know if the Tymlos is to blame or something else. It is frustrating. Some endocrinologists treat osteoporosis, others don't. But that may be where to start your search?

Wow, so similar. I am on prolia also. I went from gyn to an np in the pcp office but both left and had to find a new pcp. Was due my script and no where else would take me without referral. New pcp wrote the script but during this time off which I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be off, I had 6 compression fractures. Got referred to trauma center with fracture prevention specialist. She's actually a PA that supposedly deals with this. I had a referral Nov 29 for endocrinologist and still have no appt scheduled. Don't know if they would be any better. I feel like we all deserve the same health care and we should all have a good dr. I made the mistake once and not going to do it again. Don't even know how to get in with anyone and if they actually KNOW osteoporosis. I have watched videos from drs, read tons of info and I want one of those drs that knows their stuff!!!! I am only 56 and I want someone good since this is a lifetime ordeal. I don't want to look back in a few years and wish I had.... like I do now. So sorry for you.
