Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Good morning @toni7, that is very good news. I hope the appointment goes well. When you have scheduled visits with clinicians, do you prepare a list of your issues and the questions you have about your condition? I am doing that this morning to prepare for a pre-surgery visit to my surgeon tomorrow. Knowledge is power and this is just one way to make sure you are getting helpful information during your visit.
Good luck and if sharing is OK with you, I will be happy to see the report of your visit.
What day is your appointment?
May you be content and at ease.
Chris

My appointment is scheduled for August 16th. I have a question ... I posted my question this morning only I don't see it. It's possible I posted on Bones, Joints and Muscles or other places. I don't quite understand how Forteo and Tymlos work. Do these drugs build new bones while breaking down old bones? Or do they build new bones alongside the old bones? Or do they simply make the old bones stronger and more dense?
I do always have a list of questions with me. Needless to say, not all doctors like it. My previous endocrinologist did not like it, he briefly nodded yes or no to one or two questions, then walked out. Whereas my primary physician loves and encourages me to do that. I will post my experience with this new endocrinologist ... I pray he will walk me thru the right path. Thank you for your response.
Have a fantastic day,
Toni
