Good evening @txmom, Let me look at this again. Do you mean 4.6 or -4.6? And was that from your spine or wrists or perhaps hips?
And the $550 a month....I wish it had only been that much. Depending upon your insurance and whatever donut holes you have, the bill was high at $1200/mo and then low at the end of the year like $99 per month. So the average was $121 per month for the two years.
I am glad you are going to get some financial help. Handling the $$$$$$heavy months was tough.
May you have comfort and ease.
Chris

Hello windyshores and Chris, I'm not sure about the number. I just remember the doctor said my average bone density was 4.6 (but could have been -4.6, since I know nothing about it) and he said it was worse than any he had seen. I have osteoporosis in my spine and right hip and osteopenia in my left hip. My fracture is causing pain when I use my arms and pain across my upper abdomen.
The $550 was after insurance and my husband has a very high medicine cost already with his health issues. I am sorry you have had so many problems, windyshores. I hope you have good help.
The cost you quoted sounds great so I am hoping to find out soon if they can help me. I think with my donut hole I would be paying $350 the rest of the year.
The information you all are sharing is such a help. Thank you.

Radiius has an assist program for people with low income. I am getting Tymlos for free. The cost prevented me from doing it last year, and I want others to know about it. So far I am having vertigo and headache. Forteo made my heart speed up and palpitate and I have afib so that was a no go. Tymlos is not affecting heart so far and blood pressure went down but not scary low. I have two lumbar fractures from osteorposis- recent- and three traumatic thoracic fractures. What a mess. Just turned 70 and feel suddenly like I am disabled. Lowest score at femur neck was -3.9, lumbar about the same at -3.7. I did cancer meds that made things worse. Good luck everyone!
