Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I am meeting with my endocrinologist later this month. He gave me the choice of trying Tymlos again (after being hospitalized with a side effect) or Evenity. I wanted to save Evenity. But if it is more powerful and fewer side effects, I would consider. I want to know if I can do Tymlos AND then Evenity and get more bone growth, or if I would get the same bone growth with Evenity alone. Tymlos seems to help the spine but not the hip. Evenity is both anabolic and antiresorptive, but it is also very new.

I don’t know anything about Tymlos but I’ll look it up. I took beniva for 4 years and it did not help at all. I will be getting a bone scan in probably 3 months and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will see a big improvement with Evinity. It all is difficult and I have scoliosis which I think even makes my bones thinner. The best of luck. Let me know what your doctor says.
