Hesitant to begin drug treatment for my osteoporosis

Well, no. But I’m not sure it’s quite like that. Bone density is only one measure of strength. I’ve had enough falls to wonder why I haven’t fractured, I guess. And Evenity seems to have very serious side effects. I’m leaning more toward Forteo (Tymlos).

It is true that bone density is not the same as bone strength - and DEXA does not measure bone strength.

I've been on Tymlos for over a year and have done really well with it, for what it's worth.
