It is stressful and serious. There are other choices besides repeating Forteo which I realize from past posts you could take for at least another two years or three years. But other than bisphosphonates there is only Evenity and Prolia. Both of which will require something after.
If you are back to baseline, Tymlos or Forteo is still the best ( and very good) choice. After Prolia you' have no choice but bisphosphonates. And after Evenity bisphosphonates or Prolia.
There aren't so very many medications, which simplifies things. Both Evenity and Prolia have osteonecrosis of the jaw in their profile.
Are you doing anything with HRT. I've been trying to get Michael to take it as it would make him more reflective and less judgemental, wouldn't help his bones. Which is to say don't take it if you are a male. And I do think you'll be happier with an anabolic.
I advised a neighbbor against Reclast. She decided to take it when her husband said--why would you trust a neighbor over your highly regarded, well-trained physician. Which is an excellent point. But it didn't work out well.

What do you mean when you said Reclast "didn't work out well" for your neighbor?
