@sallyj2 both Tymlos and Forteo are good drugs. I could not tolerate Forteo at all. Others can't tolerate Tymlos. I think tolerability is an important factor 🙂

Tymlos is "safe." I am not sure if @gently was referring to cortical porosity effects. My doctors and McCormick seem to think cortical porosity is a negative and Tymlos is slightly better on that count. But @gently posed an interesting question on flexibility vs density.

Here is an older discussion of the two options

windyshores, I greatly admire your will power in tolerating adverse effects with pharmaceuticals. And admire even more your cleverness, inventiveness with titration of these medications. I especially appreciate your responses, knowing how much they've helped others in our circumstance.
You aren't the senior contributor, but you are the most experienced. And the most balanced.
