I need my glasses!

I remember reading that a few years back, probably before I went on Tymlos. I hope fewer doctors are prescribing bisphosphonates for osteopenia and early osteoporosis, and also that more doctors are starting with bone builders for more severe osteoporosis- if insurance will cooperate.

Hey Windy, as I mentioned, "in time things change." Sadly bisphosphonates are still considered 1st line and this is 2024! So why treat hip fragility with a bisph? As you stated, we need to push for osteoanabolics (bone builders) first!

Evenity was introduced after this article, so I may consider it if my Dr will allow. She feels it's too new but I want the best drug to treat to target if possible. Her 1st recommendation was Reclast! Then I talked her into tymlos. I'm looking more to target hip primarily and am thinking Evenity. I'm just worried if there is a rebound effect like prolia? I am so dissappointed in the OP healthcare, they are so behind, and we seem to have to educate the Dr's.

Looks as thou the TBS score put me in a worse place than without it 😏. Did you get a chance to see my rept above, wondering what you think of it? ❤️
