Scared by latest DEXA showing severe osteoporosis. Need advice.

@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.

Windyshores -- Thank you -- I just took the tech's word for it that I was a basket case. And I appreciate the advice a great deal!

My most recent serum calcium was 10.3 also (just under the line of 10.4 at my lab). Did you Dr do periodic blood tests to monitor your calcium while you were on Tymlos? Did you have any side effects from the Tymlos? I am considering getting a 2nd opinion, hopefully from an endocrinologist closer to me.
