@cathyf31 that is helpful. My current part D plan is also Wellcare and generic Forteo is on their formulary and was approved (so there goes 2400 and hoping they don't increase the cap again as they did from last year to next year)---I am starting in January because I am damned if I am going to give the drug companies an extra 2400 by starting it now. They already get wealthy off the backs of most of us, however I have never done well with any daily medicine and I also have Long Covid for 5.5 years which has affected reactions for me, so if I don't tolerate it well or we end up with so many power outages as we have where I live, I don't want to wait another year to try something like Tymlos that is non formulary. My only two options right now (for medical reasons) and the first drugs for me for osteoporosis I have been on so if these fail there is nothing. Not looking forward to any of it. Feel like I am between a rock and a hard place.

@mountainlover1 Dur to severe issues, all osteoporosis medications are off the table for me. The only remaining option (for me) is EstroGel pump, but it will be atleast another 2 months, before I can safely start will an ultra-low dose and slowly titrate up. Best wishes and prayers for you. 🙏🫂🙏
