@windyshores I started to answer and now it's gone! Agreed—it doesn't make sense but neither do my other 2 consults in moving forward. If I explained the last couple of days between other doctors, insurance, drug companies, scheduling PT 3 x a week and the constant research, your head would also be spinning too! Reclast and Evinity aren't covered by my insurance, period—they sent an email with other drug options that 'might be covered but have quantity limits' or of no use to where I am in treatment. Esophagitis—oral drugs which have side effects of the esophagus—I can't swallow and cause further harm. I find it interesting that Amgen (Prolia/Evenity) left 2 voicemails asking for my permission to tell my doc that I have 8 broken ribs. What?? Of course she knows and why are you calling me?! I'm going day by day to keep the insanity in check. Saw a physiologist today—have a PT evaluation set for Thursday. Tomorrow, appt with my Endo to tease apart this mess and come up with a plan. At this point I'm praying for Tymlos (fear of injecting myself aside). I just found your Radius Assist suggestion, more prayers. I'll let you know what tomorrow brings! As always thank you for being a sound voice of reason.

The broken ribs are important because insurance might cover you for all drugs if you have fractures (at least mine does). You can also take an oral biphosphonate for a couple of weeks and tell your doc that they are aggravating your esophagus/GERD and that also helps with insurance.

I worked with Together with Tymlos. They assign a rep to you who will guide your application for Radius Assist. It is confusing because the Radius Assist application is on the Radius website. Hope this all works out!
