Has this happened to you? BMD declines with both Prolia and Evenity

I have been taking thyroid meds my entire adult life. Currently my TSH is 2.5 and I feel tired, no stamina most of the time (i have hashimoto's thyroiditis). Would like to decrease meds because of osteoporosis, but don't want to feel even more tired. My endo says my TSH should be between a 4 and a 6 (even though 6 is considered hypo) because of my age (73) and having osteoporosis. I have resisted decreasing the thyroid meds. I have always read that the thyroid meds don't affect your bones unless you are taking too much and it is making you hyper thyroid.
Aren't you afraid to decrease meds and then have hypo symptoms?

Yes, I'm afraid too, because I'm tired all the time. I'm thinking that the Forteo makes me more tired. I have also gained weight in Tymlos and Forteo. I'm afraid that I might gain weight on less Thyroid med. But I have broken 5 bines in 18 months so really need to take care of my osteoporosis. It is interesting that your endo wants your TSH higher because of your age. I am 74 and none of my endoscsaid anything. I think they are motivated to do as little as possible. On Thursday, my endo said no more tests, come back in 6 months, and he was out the door!
