@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!

Thank you
U am starting it this Monday.
I have that low blood pressure like you. Mine is 90 over 50 most of the time so I’ll eat salty things before and I like the idea of trying it in the morning. I would prefer to do the first one with someone here with me or at my docs office.
Thank you as always.
You are so supportive and much appreciated.
