I have found no doctor willing to request that CTX and P1 NP marker test be given… I can only pay for them myself out-of-pocket at an outside agency. Do you know something that can change this for me? Also, you stated that CTX over 400 meant that you were actively losing bone But you did not give a result for P1NP. What would that be. lastly, where would I get your printout for test? I could not find it on the podcast. Thank you in advance for your answers.
I feel your pain. The US “health care” system is truly an abomination. One thing that really helped me was getting the book “Great Bones” by R Keith McCormick. It clarified many things. You will then want to find an endocrinologist to navigate forward-if your PCP is anything like mine, he or she has no idea what a bone marker even is! Good luck to you.
Thank you dear Mrs.Bissinger for this episode! It is very helpful and informative! Gongratulations for your serious work on the subject, which is so subtle and quite complicated. You supply us with some of the best information concering this extremely important health issue. It is true that doctors' sugestion is medication as the first step! But there are also serious side efects. That is why is not easy to work on buldind bone desnity. I ll keep watcing your pods, whishing you all the best!
You two are amazing and very helpful! Just dx with OP, very overwhelming, only in my 50s, I feel better equipped now on what to ask Endo. to get some baseline labs etc. Rheum., & pcp forcing me to take fosomax and not do any testing 😔, hopefully Endo Dr. will be more willing to do testing. Thank you so very much, I feel a little better after watching you both share good information! 🙏🏻
Glad we could help!. You should hopefully be able to find a doctor who will order these tests. Don't give up! The good news is, there's so much that can be done to improve your bones and overall health.

@@Gypseygirls thank you for that! ❤️
All you are going to get is the recommendation to go on drugs - no traditional doctor will actually do tests to figure out why you are losing bone.
