@dmshope I was curious about your statement about Tymlos so I did some looking into it.
"In summary, 18 months of ABL administration was associated with significant improvements in 3D-DXA-based vBMD in both cortical and cancellous compartments of the proximal femur. Although TPTD increased cortical thickness and trabecular vBMD to a similar extent as ABL, cortical vBMD remained at baseline levels."
ABL: abaloparatide
TPT: teraparatide

Tymlos actually resulted in a positive effect on cortical bone while Forteo was neutral per this study. Of course, this is just one study so if you have a reference that concludes the opposite, please let me know. I like to collect interesting studies on osteoporosis treatment. Thank you!

@dmshope I’m so sorry to hear about your multiple foot fractures. I’ve had two stress fractures and two stress injuries. Problems with feet affect everything. I’m wondering if you might be able to connect me with any research on this I could share with my endocrinologist? How did you learn about this issue, beyond the sensations in your feet? Did your doctor agree it was from Tymlos? My feet are feeling really stable right now at 1 year full dose ( I ramped up.) I don’t want to slide backwards.
