Looking ahead after Tymlos: Reclast, Evenity or HRT?

@psmnonna my afib had not subsided. I have episodes infrequently that are severe and expect that to continue, hopefully once a year (4 in the past year). They last a few hours.

Reclast is useful for locking in what you gained on Tymlos. Even if you don't like it for bone building, it coats the bones and maintains what you gained on anabolics. Without a bisphosphonate you will lose the density again.

Bone markers are controversial. My doctor doesn't use them and says they don't tell enough of the story of what is actually going on in bones. He said an entire conference could be held on this topic. I have gotten a few tests done by my PCP for Keith McCormick's consultation but they haven't been useful so not sure what to think.

@windyshores So sorry the afib is a continuing issue. I have friends with afib and it is def not fun.
I have read McCormicks info and watched some of his videos in the last month. I haven't had any of the tests he recommends and I'm sure my docs just look to the standard treatments without considering other ideas or causes, for that matter. I get that the bone markers are controversial but would still have been nice to know. Not sure if it would be worth it now, as I have no "before" comparison.
As for Reclast, I will probably end up with that, but I have another year to marinate on that. Maybe the miracle cure will materialize...(LOL).
Any thoughts on Evenity or HRT for 20 yrs post menopause? Or any research that you are aware of pro/con?
Again .. thanks for your thoughts!!
