Wow indeed, @gowalking, that's a lot of questions.
What do I think about when I'm depressed? Mostly nothing, but we're not going to go there in any event.

The DEXA issue was, for me, a means of considering whether maybe I'd gotten sufficient benefit from 9 months of Tymlos, that I could just stop it now, (which is kind of the answer to your question how I'd feel about Tymlos if my DEXA showed improvement in 9 mos) and transition to Prolia, which the doc said would be the natural followup anyway. But in either case the side effects warrant my stopping temporarily, regardless of what a DEXA would show, and if they resolve or don't resolve will I think be a good indicator of whether to resume the Tymlos or go to something different. Women's health and osteoporosis - two interesting topics: I'm a 78 year old male, and my T-scores were just at the edge of osteoporosis, so I'm hoping and, frankly, expecting that even 9 months of Tymlos have moved them down into the osteopenia range, and that if I transitioned now to Prolia as maintenance for the long-term, I'd be OK. That may be either ignorance or denial on my part, but that's where I'm at at the moment. That's why I need to get busy educating myself better.
