I’m in discussions with my endocrinologist about medication. I have parathyroid issues that probably rule out Tymlos or Forteo. I’m consulting with an endocrine surgeon today, but have already had unsuccessful parathyroid surgery. That leaves Fosamax or Evenity as options. I'm afraid of both because of side effects but feel as though I have no choice. I've read Fosamax is not very effective at preventing new fractures, and would take at least a year to have even a minimal effect.
