Hi, @artscaping. Thanks for the tip...I'll try the bookmarking this go-around, if I remember. Seeing your t-score, with those -3s, helped put your meds into context for me, thanks. I don't think my Hologic machine did wrists but maybe it could have if my doctor had requested it. I understand your wanting a higher frequency of lower doses....makes sense. Why do I feel like I've typed this before? I hope this isn't a duplicate reply. The pill you're taking is a Bisphosphonate (anti-resorptive), right? I want to be sure to become aware of the existence of any *non*-bisphosphonate pill form. You could have chosen a daily injection, though, right? That would be lower doses than by doing it less often....but it might be hard to do injections every day.

Hi there.......thanks for your response and important message. I want to respond to your inquiry about daily injection options. I did choose Tymlos and daily injections were part of my morning routine for two years. I had no side effects or issues at all. The Dexa scores that were -3 were from my wrist which I have now been told are not used in determining the level of osteoporosis in my body. So I have been concentrating on the hip scores.

Does that make sense to you?

May you have contentment and ease.
