I’m not rich, but too rich to go on assistance. I can handle the cost. I heard that Forteo has a genetic now. When I checked online the Tymlos would be close to $3,000 a month and the Forto was $600 with GoodRx. It’s going to be a bit of a struggle considering I am retired. Thank goodness I was a saver. I owned a travel agency. I don’t have a choice and without a bone density meds I’ll start breaking bones. I will ask my dr if I can start on a lower amount for now. When I get anxious my heart rate goes up and I heard with these meds they go up too.

@laujodrik You're doing your best, and it's good enough! I understand your fear, but I assure you that it's possible to let that go. Once you do, you will feel exponentially better and make better decisions. Also, please remember that there are many, many positives here. Sure, there are potential issues and side effects for every medication, but I'll remind you that there are also potentially so many incredible benefits for those of us here. As far as the sequencing goes, no one has nailed that yet. There are so many variables that make establishing a protocol extraordinarily challenging. The science is ever-evolving. New medications are added to the formulary. Different specialists have different opinions. Additionally, we can't always have the supposed optimum timing or the supposed ideal sequence or the supposed ideal medication. Finances, comorbidities, difficulty finding the right doctor at the right time and the list goes on. This is the current landscape for us and we have to learn to navigate it without getting lost or losing our minds. We do our best to advocate for ourselves and educate ourselves, we move forward and live our lives and together we will impact the evolution of osteoporosis treatment.
