Which one to choose: Evenity, Tymlos or Forteo?

You can't make a decision based on personal stories. Here you have one person saying Forteo, the other saying Tymlos. Everyone is different. The majority of people do just fine with either one. You won't know until you start.
I'm on Tymlos. One thing I like about it is that it doesn't have to be refrigerated, so it's a lot easier to travel with it as opposed to Forteo.

My endocrinologist has recommended that I take Forteo, and I will wait until my next bone density results to decide whether or not I'll take it. But in regards to traveling, I did read that there is a handy insulated thermos that keeps the drug cold for several hours and even has a USB port that you can plug-in.
Dear njx58,
Thanks a lot for your sharing and I completely agree with you that "Everyone is different".
Best regards

The endocrinologist I see said none of his patients have had a negative side effect from Evinity. My sister did Evenity and had no problems. The endocrinologist said Evenity or Tymlos. Then he chose Evenity for me. I did n’t think to ask why that over the other one, but I like that Evenity is for a year.
The nurse at the infusion center where I get the Evenity injections said she has not injected anyone who had a side effect, and that every one who goes to get the injection has completed the year long injections. All of that took away a lot of the fear of side effects.
It could happen to me, but I’m ore confident that it will
My biggest concern is that someone said the Evenity works best on the spine. My spine T score is back to zero. It’s the hips that are at -2. Well, it’s what it is and we’ll see down the road how it ends up. 😊

njx,
I would be far less comfortable offering my opinion if I didn't know Windyshores was just around the corner.
We make the best decisions based on each other's experiences. Essentially, that is what clinical trials are.
