@kolika I am finding that there really is no perfect drug for osteoporosis. Each of them can be problematic in its own way. It can be scary to get any of them. The side effects of Tymlos are generally less so I started with that to increase my bones (it's one of the few that actually does grow new bone) and also to give me more time to decide what to do next.

If you take Tymlos (or Forteo) you have to immediately get on a bisphosphonate to maintain what you gained so right now I am leaning toward Reclast. I probably have until the end of the year, or until March of next year before I make that decision but I may stop Tymlos sooner than that. My legs are aching a lot and that can be a Tymlos side effect so I am considering getting off of it sooner.

JK Thank you so much for your reply and encouragement. I continue to go back and forth as to which of the anabolic drugs I should take for my severe osteoporosis (range -4.4 to -5.2). Endocrinologists say Evenity. The more research I do, the more challenging the decision becomes.
