@annevan are you considering bone-growing drugs like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity? Your DEXA score might mean insurance could cover, and both Tymlos and Forteo companies have patient assist programs. I chose Tymlo because the dose is adjustable, and I started with a low dose and moved up. It is easy to be afraid of side effects, but as a person with several spinal fractures, I am more afraid of fractures than side effects= even despite many med sensitivities.
