Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

Tymlos has a patient assistance program. I got mine for free (18 months). You call Together with Tymlos and they help you connect to Radius Assist.
OR, you could take Fosamax once and if it doesn't agree with you, insurance might cover Tymlos then. Some will after you try another med first.
I think this needs to change. Now that there is a generic Forteo, that may be easier to get as a first med (I don't know if this is true) but that pen dose is not adjustable to my knowledge. Someone can correct me if that is not true.

I’ve just started on the generic Forteo called Sondelbay. Extreme tiredness first week, doc said to stop for 3 days then every second day injection and see how I get on. Dose is not adjustable.

Thank you. I will look into that for sure. And that's a good alternative idea with Fosamax as well too if there's no other alternative. I tend to respond so badly to medications, which is why I really would like to start with a low dose first. I guess I'll just have to take one day at a time and explore all options. Your information combined with Dr. McCormick's book and this site have helped me tremendously. I am so glad I found this forum.
