Do you mind me asking what age you were put on Tymlos? I believe that is the same as the parathyroid injection yes?
I am living in Ireland and on public health. I have no private health insurance.

@hmoon I am concerned for you, since you are relying on calcium, D3 and estrogen to try to reverse pretty severe bone density issues. I am unclear why an endocrinologist would not prescribe Evenity or, if your parathyroid is working, Forteo or Tymlos. I am wondering if only the latter two are available where you are and the endocrinologist is first making sure your parathyroid is working well. My spine was -3.7 when I fractured 3 lumbar vertebrae in one moment, which permanently altered my life in terms of pain and what I can do. You are only 29 and I don't want that for you! Please be careful until the doctor can explain this (or you have seen another doctor). I don't know how the medical system works in Ireland and if there are long waits but it seems fairly urgent.
