What should I know before starting Evenity?

@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.

Interesting! Yes. I’m appalled at those scores. 2024 states T-score of -3.7 at the hip.
2024 says bone density at femoral neck corresponds to a T-score of -3.5

Re: starting your 3rd year of Forteo. I am also starting a 3rd year of Forteo. First used it in 2016 after 13 spinal fractures. Followed up with Evista for 5 years. Now in 3rd month of another course of Forteo. My spine cannot be read, but my hip is -3.5. Can I ask you a bit of your journey in when you did your first course of Forteo, maintenance drugs and bone density score? Seems no one is following results or implications of using Forteo again past the 24 months. Perhaps we should start a thread on that.
Thank you for your post. Very encouraging : )
