@artscaping Very true as also in the osteo treatment decision. Still there as I have had mostly severe, adverse reactions to medications I am filled to overflowing with hesitation. I have heard both sides as to treatment. Without a doubt still in a limbo. Endeavoring to find an Endo doc that is willing to discuss things. Thus far only men who have been impatient and to speak bluntly-are JERKS!!

Try to get Tymlos because the pens have clicks. Full dose is 8 clicks but you can start at 2 and work up. That eliminates a lot of the anxiety about starting a med. Forteo does not have that ability to do a partial dose (unless they have changed the pens since I tried it years ago). I am also really sensitive to meds. I waited too long and had some fractures that were so painful.

Mayo Clinic Jacksonville gave me names of Mayo alumni in my area and I found a terrific endocrinologist.
