Loss of BMD in hips after taking Forteo or teriparatide?

I’m curious why Dr. McCormick said a thousand percent you should be on Evenity. Do you mind if I ask your t-score? I consulted with Dr McCormick and he recommended Forteo for me, not Evenity. He said he didn’t have many patients on Evenity but they all had joint pain, and it’s a new drug. He seemed more comfortable with Forteo as it has been around 20 years and is generally well tolerated. My t-score is -3.1 spine and -2.7 hip

Sorry for the typos in that last message. Yes Mc Cormick is an amazing man. He says he has seen worse then me. They think I never built enough bone as a kid. I am 65 and tall and have so many gut issues.
Did you have issues with forteo? I’ll start the tymlos like Windyshores says at a lower dose and work up quickly.

He was worried that my hip and forearm might go down on tymlos.
I am scared out of my mind. No one but you ladies to talk with and I appreciate everyone so much. I’ll do my first tymlos Monday morning. Kind of nervous about doing it in the weekend for some reason.
