I'm going to have a phone consultation with Dr. McCormick, so he won't be my doctor. He does have a BA in human biology from Stanford and was diagnosed with Osteoporosis when he was a young athlete. So he's been studying this for years and is very knowledgeable. He has been working with patients with OP over the years. I have his meticulously researched book, Great Bones, which he wrote for patients and doctors. I just saw an endocrinologist at the Johns Hopkins Metabolic Bone Center. She basically asked me what I wanted to do. I asked her about trying a low dose of Tymlos to see if I tolerate it. She was open to that, but didn't know if it would be effective to take a lower dose. It's her first year of practice, so she doesn't have much experience. So I'm going to talk to Dr. McCormick to get his thoughts. Yes, I learned about the importance of taking anabolic drugs before antiresorptives from reading Dr. McCormick's book. I posted the question here to ask if anyone had improved bone density from taking a partial dose of Tymlos. So just looking for actual patient experiences.
