I will try to weigh in on your drug choice after I talk to my specialist on May 13.

Attached are my "severe" DEXA scores. As a reminder that I have only lost a quarter inch and have not fractured a bone.

@researchmaven your spine and forearm scores are not severe, and your hip is not osteoporotic.

@ripley my calcium before Tymlos was 10.3 (just over the line) and I did fine on it. I just didn't take calcium before Tymlos or during the two hours after.

I drive an hour for Evenity.

I really hope you do a bone builder and not Reclast or Fosamax. I saw a second endocrinologist for another opinion. That is always an option.
