What should I know before starting Evenity?

Great. I read many commenters about reactions to Evenity. But I’ve only been on alendondrate with no real movement in 3 years. -3.7. 3.5. And this November 3.7 Doctor says all is fine. 🫣🤔

Why alendronate first. The current thinking seems to be to start with a bone builder like tymlos, forteo or evenity but I am not a doctor and I don't know what your health history is. Do you know your doctor's rational for a bisphosphonate first? I would encourage you to do your own research. Is she/he an endocrinologist? Do you know about your doctor's training in menopause and especially in osteoporosis. Anyway their is a wealth of knowledge and support here.
As I understand it the current thinking on osteoporosis treatment now is to start with a bone builder like tymlos, forteo or evenity
Is your doc an endocrinologist or rheumatologist? What is their training and expertise with osteoporosis?

@patwerthman, where is the -3.7 ? Alendronate does offer long term fracture protection, but -3.7 doesn't seem fine.
Forteo or Tymlos are worth consideration most especially if the low numbers are in the spine.
I'm starting a third year of Forteo.
The needles are so tiny (3/16') that you laugh when you see how easy it is to inject yourself everyday.
