Struggling with Tymlos medicine

@gently I have indeed wondered about what you said about the causes being resolved. In my case, I was never given a cause, so I really have no idea if three years of nutrition and exercise have "fixed" something in addition to Tymlos.
This will come into play when I see the endo in January for my DEXA and one-year post-Tymlos follow-up. Is one year of Fosamax enough? Usually it isn't, but maybe? I'm going to be very interested to see what the DEXA says.
It is certainly frustrating flying blind, but we all know OP is an especially frustrating condition.

@njx58, I have been curious about what caused your osteoporosis. You mentioned your testosterone being normal. It was great that you knew the ropes and had proceeded in the right direction so you could guide your wife.
We were lucky, you know, to start with medications that didn't cause us any problems, to start with the best drugs available.
I'll be interested January dexa to see if you've lost maintained, or gained density.
Would you take another 2 years of Tymlos, or switch to Forteo for two.
Oh, and I'm glad you are lingering here on connect with good advice.
