Loss of BMD in hips after taking Forteo or teriparatide?

@lynn59 I gained 9% in hip, on Tymlos, going from -3.3 to -2.9. Spine gain was 20% going from -3.7 to -2.5. These are helpful meds for many of us. My doc reminded me too that Forteo and Tymlos improve bone quality- even when bone markers might show, at some point, less anabolic/bone growth activity.

Thank you for this assurance. You had great gains. May I ask why you are on Evenity after those great gains? Are you really active and prone to fall?

Btw sounds like you have the kind of endocrinologist that I was hoping for.

I hope you are having a nice holiday weekend:)

What do they base improved bone quality on? If DEXA drops for some people and they use DEXA to tell us we need treatment, how can they then say the quality is better unless maybe TBS improves? Or, is it based on human bone biopsies?
