Hi, @hollygs, and funny you should mention searching "metabolic bone specialists Texas," as I did that yesterday and it turned up the usual lists of university clinics and endocrinologists but lead to no physician who is specializing in osteoporosis except for 1 endo in Houston. And I have my doubts about the degree to which she is specializing. I called her office; she won't do telemedicine with a new patient and is booked out until June 2026. I booked an appointment anyhow, just in case I need something down the road. Also tried the Osteoporosis Foundation site about a year ago, didn't get much of anywhere. But maybe I need to start telling my story when I find a possible candidate.

I woke up 4 times last night worrying about this situation. I was appalled by things my endo either didn't know (for example that people were losing bone on Reclast after Prolia and some needed multiple Reclast injections in the first year) or had no curiosity about (like current cardiac event stats for Evenity, which I'm still trying to find). Here's the big irony: my long-ago menopause doc has been Amgen's research director for both Prolia & Evenity, and while she can't treat or advise me (no longer in clinical practice, etc.), she was kind enough to offer to speak to my docs if they had questions. Neither my rheumy or my endo had any interest in talking to her. I have since messaged my cardio asking if he can find another heart guy with some knowledge/experience with Evenity, but have little hope of getting him engaged. Everyone is just too damn busy.

I want you to know how much I appreciate your kindness, your advice, and your search suggestions. I'm going to give both resources another try. And I think I will post to this group and the cardio group re: searching for doctors. But meantime, please accept my gratitude. You're really helping me calm down! 🙂
