Began Tymlos 4 wks ago; flying solo till I see Endo in 3wks... advice?

This haunts me, too. When I finally meet with him, I am open-minded to my new endo possibly telling me to suspend Tymlos/anabolics and just focus on diet, exercise, and supplements for now. I just hope he's willing to really drill down and try to determine if my fracture was a "fragility" fx or not...
My frax score didn't get the bump it would have if my mother had broken a hip, but she HAS broken 2 bones in her feet in her early 80's just standing and twisting the wrong way and my maternal grandmother broke her hip at 81 from standing. (So I do wonder how accurate my frax score really is.) (Mom has dementia now, but her recent total hip T-score was -3.6. She had two years of Reclast infusions 10-12 years ago and I need to take her in to see about further treatment given her recent Dexa results.)

@annie208 none of us just stop anabolics, at least in my experience with MD's and other resources. I have been told to "lock in" gains with a bisphosphonate and after a year or more, drug holidays are possible with monitoring . At the point we might be able to rely on holistic approaches for awhile at least.
I was told that regardless of the fact that my first fractures were from a very traumatic fall, my risk of further fractures was high due to those initial ones. Even regardless of DEXA scores and other tests. The spine is less stable after even one fracture. That is what my MD told me.
