Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

@barboc6612 I watched a webinar today and people have different opinions, of course, but Algaecal was described as overrated for a lot of money.
Agree on the meds - if you take them, you first want to consider Forteo (or generic), Tymlos or Evenity to promote bone growth. If you take the Fosamax first, it will interfere with that.
Wishing you well - I'm in much the same boat.

I appreciate your insight. I've looked at the drugs you mentioned and they seem to be what I'm looking for. I also looked at the cost....super spendy unless Medicare kicks in. I've got a lot of hoops to go through, but know my general doctor just wants to prescribe Bisphosomates....not a good option for me now. Hoping to get into a specialist. Looks like this will take time. Meanwhile, it's Bone Up and Vitamin D!
