Understanding how much is safe to lift with osteoporosis

@njx58 -- I agree with you on the Forteo/Tymlos/Evenity. I've learned in my research that these are all good for bone building and the order of medications is important. Unfortunately, insurance will not cover/approve me for any of these (have appealed with no luck). So I will need to start with a bisphosphonate.

@jspr422 Consider self-pay for the medications you & your doctor want, instead of what the insurance company "prescribes". I thought that I heard others have found ways to get some drug costs reduced a bit from the full published prices, but not clear on that.
Here is a great story from @lynn59.

For some of us the best possible drug path is truly unaffordable without insurance coverage. But I would give it a good fight before I let myself be put on anything but the best possible therapy when my time comes.
