My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I have been reading and reading comments on here and other sources to try to figure out what is best for me. Evenity or Tymlos. I think I will go with the Tymlos for a couple of reasons. If Tymlos doesn’t work for me, I can likely go to evenity. If I don’t tolerate Evenity I don’t think I would be able to go on Tymlos but would need to go on a bisohosphonate. Is this correct?
I have called Dr. McCormick for an appointment and they will not make the appointment until they receive all of my lab reports and dexas. They are also booked out until June. So do I move forward with Tymlos since it would be 3 months before I can get an appointment? I still want to see him as I have other issues, celiac and hypothyroidism, which probably contributed to osteoporosis and need to get my gut in better condition.

Just a FYI I have OP because I had celiac and didn't know it. I'm what's called silent I have no symptoms except for the OP. There is a correlation between Celiac and OP since Celiac is a malabsorption disease.
In my own opinion I like your thinking of doing Tymlos then switching to Evenity if necessary. Wish I had thought of that.
Just so you know I did Evenity for 9 months and stopped due to increasing joint pain in my hands and wrist. The greatest gains with Evenity are in the first 6 months. My spine dexa went from -3.6 to 3. No effect on my total hips which are -1.4, osteopenia. The best is my trabecular bone score went from around 1 to 1.355 which is normal. So the insides of my bones are in great shape.
