For what it's worth, and opinions can vary among doctors, my endocrinologist told me that Evista is not a good SERM ot osteoporosis drug. He said that it's being marketed as a two-for but does neither job well. Just one opinion but I toss it in here as you're in research mode. I truly wish there were better choices for osteoporosis drugs as all of them have issues, though some are worse than others. I think that the future for osteoporosis care will rely on more data than the DEXA results and maybe genetic testing can identify a more precise path for prevention and treatment for an individual.

Thanks for the feedback on Evista. I have just begun research on the estrogen related drugs for osteoporosis. It is good to know your doctor has found it not to be that effective.

I agree that more than the DEXA results are needed to assess osteoporosis. My endocrinologist ordered several lab tests, but I am not clear on how they may or may not line up with DEXA results. Those are some of the questions I have at my next appointment.
