I do not really know my scores because my doc does his own comparison and calculations. And it is never posted on my chart that I can see. I guess I am going to start asking more questions. I only see him yearly and not much discussion in between. It has been years since I had two years of Reclast and no side effects. And then last year out of the blue he talks about me starting Tymlos for two years. No discussion only said it was a self-injection medication. So I got it from the pharmacy and started but only lasted four months with the side effects. I sent a message with what was happening and he said just to stop. We were going to switch to Prolia after my dental surgery and the 5 month waiting period after dental work. That is why I want to try Tymlos again because you do not have to wait with dental procedures. Also because Tymlos builds bone better if you can last two years. Then change to a maintenance medication. I am going to ask what my scores have been and see if I can get some scores. Thanks for your reply and information. I have been learning alot from everyone and finding out how little I know. Stay in touch and how Evenity goes if you start it. Stay well and be safe. KLH

You should always have your scores. Either through a patient portal or by requesting them from the doctor or medical records. I can't imagine making decisions without having them!
