@sueinmn thank you so much for your helpful reply!
I am under the care of an endocrinologist and I will be starting Evenity in December.
I am also starting mental health counseling in a couple weeks, with a practitioner who specializes in the challenges of aging. I'm looking forward to that!

@drterri Hi. I'm on here trying to learn from others since my diagnosis of osteoporosis last April. I've never heard of a mental health counselor who specializes in the challenges of aging. That's so wonderful to know people exist like that out there to help us navigate life as a senior. I'm not sure what year your post was, as they don't seem to be putting the year on it, but if it's in 2025, I wish you well! I hope she or he is very helpful to you. I'm on the young side of being a senior. This has been my first year of being 65, (new to Medicare), and will turn 66 in December. But since then, I've had one too many health surprises that relate to getting older in some way -- and it's been rough. I can totally see how a specialist in helping others cope with the challenges of aging would be extremely helpful! How is the Evenity working out? Any side effects? The counseling?
