eenie, send us your numbers (if you want to). I think right off the bat that Forteo is your best bet. Fewer side ef
fects expecially for those with autoimmune systems. If you hips are the worst or very low, I'd bet on Tymlos.
If it makes you hollar you can let it go and try something else.
What does your doctor say?

You're hilarious; Thanks for the humor.
I got the results from MyChart & assume the doctor hasn't even seen it yet.
You're the first to know besides myself!
Bmd Change
Skeletal Site BMD(g/cm2) T-score Z-score Prior Baseline
PA Spine/L1-L4 0.855 -1.7 0.4 -0.001 (-0%) -0.001 (-0%)
Left Hip/Total Hip 0.622 -2.6 -1.1 -0.012 (-2%) -0.012 (-2%)
Left Hip/Femoral Neck 0.530 -2.9 -1.0 -0.060 (-10%) -0.060 (-10%)

(* = significant change)

Interpretation: Based on WHO criteria, this patient has osteoporosis.

A FRAX(r) score is not provided because the patient is not osteopenic.

Measurement of the PA spine was marginal due to significant scoliosis,
degenerative changes.

I have an autoimmune disorder and I take Forteo. Some minor side effects, but overall success.
