Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

@heyhey, @hopeful33250 Such good news that you found some good research? What did you learn on Google Scholar? I thought I looked there and on the nih site. So....now we need to figure out the finances. There are a series of Specialty Pharmacies in the US. My local pharmacist found one for me, Optum. Significant savings on Tymlos. I don’t know about the others. Overnight delivery.
You know....The manufacturer of Tymlos has a special group composed of nurses and other health care providers. They support clinicians and also patients. Perhaps they would know about unpublished or planned comparative tests. It would be worth a try.
How would you like to proceed? As questions arise, please let us know. Don’t forget to share. That helps others.

@artscaping I'm edging toward Tymlos also but I need to do more research. I have a DEXA next week and then appointments with two endocrinologists to get more than one opinion since this is such an important and difficult decision. If those other drugs only maintain, not build, I am wondering if you follow a regimen with good dietary choices and supplements you can also maintain.
This is such a dilemma. I have had problems with so many drugs that I'm quite nervous about the choices for osteoporosis.

Finances indeed !! I just did a check on Evenity, Tymlos and Foreo on my Blue Shield California Silver Off-Market PPO. Only Tymlos is covered by my plan, with $450 a month copay up to my yearly max @ $4300. I have copied down all information on Tymlos assistance programs, which could reduce the copay. I will also look into Optum, thank you for mentioning . This is going to be an expensive health issue to manage....
