@osteoresearch why not do Tymlos then Evenity? Depending on how bad your scores are. Maybe one is enough for you.
Since Evenity is anti-resorptive in the last months it seems reasonable, hypothetically, to do alendronate afterward. Maybe by the time you finish, there will be more info! I would do alendronate if I didn't have GERD.
You can try to use bone markers like CTX and P1NP to assess. My endo doesn't do them but I ask my PCP to order and then talk to Keith McCormick, the author of "Great Bones," who does consultations.
McCormick did Forteo way back when and then alendronate.

My scores are -3.3 avg in spine (lowest number -3.0 L2) and -2.8 in hip. I have one fracture at L2.
First I had decided Tymlos, then back to Evenity, and yes now back leaning toward Tymlos then Evenity, to buy myself more time with anabolics. But I could feel differently next week! My only hesitation with Tymlos was the cancer scare with my previous squamous cell cancer.
Obviously, I'm not "thrilled" to take any of them. I would like to consult with Kevin McCormick but I've already done so many tests I don't really want to repeat them all. But...I may try calling today to see what they need before a consult. I know I will try an anabolic -Tymlos or Evenity - remains the question. I wanted to add this slide from Onero talk which is one reason I was leaning toward Evenity for highest gains in my spine.
