Hi Lynn59,
My middle name is Lynn.
I agree we have the most intelligent and supportive ladies on this site. I am so thankful to everyone.
Looks like we will both be starting next week.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your offer. Yes we will breathe a huge sigh of relief and know we are on our way to having stronger bones.

@candy209 I had 9% gain in hips and 20% gain in spine and am now on Evenity.er
@candy209 and @lynn59
McCormick is suggesting Evenity because as he says, "it gets you out of a hole the fastest." However, you can do Evenity after Tymlos.

Evenity "turbo charges" bone growth first as a bone builder and then as an anti-resorptive. Tymlos builds quality bone the whole time and is not an anti-resorptive (anti-resorptives alter bone turnover).

Your scores are not good so he is probably worried you might fracture. But Tymlos does most of its work in the first year or even sooner so I think it is a good drug. If you don't like it, you will have a way to get insurance for Evenity!
