@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.

@gently I am certain my insurance will not cover more than two years on any anabolic. I've seen the authorization form questions.

Also, it won't help. My gains were only 3% in the second year. Tymlos can be much less effective in the second year, even beyond 18 months.

If my T-score is -1.7 or whatever, I can live with that because I feel strong with the gym and with all the running.
