Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for your reply. Currently, I am still pursuing the approval from my insurance company for Evenity, even after three denials. My fear of needles is overwhelming, considering that I would need to inject myself on a daily basis. Also Evenity is known to build bones especially in the spinal area, where I seem to have most of my bone loss. Therefore, my preference would be Evenity. It is so disappointing dealing with insurance companies, however I won’t give up!

My doctor has restricted my lifting to 15 pounds, no bike rides, or participation in other activities with risks of falling. As a very active person and a new grandmother it worries me to have these restrictions. I want to enjoy my grandchildren fully, and I now have to be so careful to avoid falls. Luckily, I have not had any fractures and have found myself being so cautious about everything I do. Trying my best to avoid any falls.

I was also diagnosed with idiopathic hypocalciuria, which I guess is why I have weak bones. Was prescribed a diuretic, but holding off on taking because it has sulfa and I was allergic to sulfa at a younger age. Want to visit an allergist first but with the corona virus I do not want to visits a doctor quite yet.

Hopefully I will hear back from my insurance company by the end of this week and can begin my journey.

As a side note, both my mother and grandmother had osteopenia but not severe.

Thanks again for your support.
