Younger than usual with severe osteoporosis

hollygs,
this rheumatologist is a wonderful.
Thanks for this great post.
Looks like Forteo maintained bone density gains for the one danger year after Evenity, except in the right femoral neck.
Did you have the side effects from Tymlos for the entire year.
When the doctor ran from the room did it scare you or make you laugh.
It took care to respond in this way I really appreciate the gesture.

@gently Yes, my rheumatologist is wonderful indeed. She wanted me to start Prolia after Tymlos, but when I said I really didn't want to do that, she said "Okay. Tell me your thoughts." I did, and she agreed with me. I was stunned, honestly.
As far as the side effects from Tymlos, it's hard to know when they started. I still had residual pain from multiple fractures, and being sedentary surely didn't help. I also have autoimmune issues. The biggest problem was the profound fatigue that I experienced and the auto-immune flare-ups.
When my endocrinologist jumped up with and ran out, I was truly alarmed. He ran back in and said "my colleague agrees that that is NEVER DONE!" You and I have actually talked about him way back when I arrived here in a frenzy after that episode. I do laugh about it now.
Thank you for the kind words, always lovely to hear from you. Hope you and yours are well.
