For those with mild osteopenia but multiple fragility fractures

He ran a bunch of thyroid tests which came up normal and, except for the broken bones, I have been healthy. Never taken steroids .... or smoked.
Yes, he recommended Evenity because it acts fast. At the rate I was going, I was breaking a bone every 3 months , without even falling or bumping into anything.
Next Dexa, I will make sure talk to them about the TBS. I probably need to check if our hospital has the capability to run those numbers. If not, I will need to find a place that does.
I sure hope this Evenity works .... my dog misses her walks.

I found this site that shows where you can find facilities that have TBS. They also responded to my email questions. They will also lobby your local imaging facility to tell them about TBS (which I did just to help promote awareness... there are
none close by to me). Hope this helps.

@jaunitalinda I have 7 spinal fractures and know how you feel 🙂 Once you fracture with no or low impact, even McCormick, the chiropractor expert on osteoporosis who urges testing bone quality, said there may be no point in testing with TBS since it is already clear bone quality is poor enough to cause fractures.
I live like you with extreme care every day, to avoid further fractures. I am going to finally do the masterclass offered by Margaret Martin now that I have finished with Tymlos and Evenity, but don't expect to ever return to just moving the way I want to. I walk a lot though! Don't let that dog pull on you to go get a squirrel 🙂 Hope Evenity helps you. So sorry and wanted to say I get it!
