How do you halt the progress of osteoporosis?

Morning works better for me with Tymlos and the shots aren't bad. No bleeding, bruising rarely. If I do 6 clicks, NO side effects. If I do 7, some days I feel tired and some days I don't.
I have a Medicare Advantage Plan through BC/BS. If your income is low enough, Radius Assist provides free Tymlos. You contact Together with Tymlos for help. Amgen makes Evenity and they do not have an assistance program but do sometimes find funds through foundations, but it varies.

Thank you @windyshores ! Sorry I got your injection timing wrong. Reading the summary notes of my consult doc yesterday and wondering if we were in the same room. I inquired about Tymlos several times, no answer. That might be a good query to the group: "Is your Doctor listening to you?"
I was able to get an assistance card from Amgen (Prolia/Evenity) to pay $25 vs. $250 after my insurance paid their portion. It's noted on the card after age 65 it's not applicable. My doc was able to get that extended for Prolia. I think a number of these drugs have other funds available. as the costs are outrageous. The legwork on my part was worth it and big kudos for my doc for pushing it through.
