Yeah, just from the research I don't like all of the complications with Evenity, I also thought dead end. I hadn't come across that info about about spine/hip effectiveness. Interesting. So many reasons to want a PTH. And so good that you're tolerating the Forteos so well! I do sem to hear that most often for anabolics in here. I'll just have to see if my two PAs (ortho and ortho/endo) or the physicians that they work under 1. approve themselves 2. can get Medicare/QMB to pay for it. No more appts with specialists at all until Feb but the Ortho PA is very responsive to texts in the portal - hopefully she responds to my brief inquiry about that tomorrow. I also have a spine fracture, probably a few years old. Hoping I get to be an exception to the draconian insistence on the typical 'steps'. If not... I dunno. And I don't know if I'll ever be able to see a physician specialist - the Hopkins clinics relies heavily on PAs. That might actually be best - they tend to take time, listen well and be more receptive in general. But it's the doc behind the scenes who actually has to press for exceptions I think. Trying just to breathe and be patient in the various limbos. Thanks so much!!!
