Welcome, I was in your same boat a year ago. I was not given a choice of drugs but was told an Rx was sent to the Pharmacy.
I was blown away when I saw the bill with our RX sent to the house. Mine for Tymos was $900+ and so far have spent over $2000 for seven months. I had to stop for a while because of side effects but now I am back on to try again at a lower dose and increase slowly as I can tolerate. Also, found out Radius has an assistance program that will pay all costs sent to the house each month if you qualify. It all depends on your income. There is an application online to print off. One page your Dr fills out, rest you fill out, and attach one tax form. But you have to be in touch with Radius so they know that you want assistance. 1-800-910-4610 Radius Assist Patient Assistance Program, this is what I called to find all the facts I needed. I wish you good luck in your decision and good health. Please keep in touch I would be interested in what decisions you make in starting your journey. Stay safe KLH

KLH, thank you so much for your reply. I will definitely explore all the options available here. I’ve never heard of Radius Assist Program but I’ll absolutely give them a call.
Thank you again. I’ll definitely keep you updated. I am worried about the side effects as well. I’m already disabled with terrible arthritis in many places but I’m going to keep a positive attitude throughout this process.
Have a wonderful day, KLH.

I am on the Radius Assist plan for Tymlos. The income cut off is pretty high so you might qualify. Lilly has assistance for Forteo but Amgen has no assistance by the company for Evenity:they refer you to a foundation which is spotty in being able to help.
