This is all very helpful for me as I weigh the pros and cons of both Amgen drugs and decide on my course of action. None of the doctors I consulted with mentioned Forteo or Thymos. Only Evenity, Prolia and bisphosphonates. I also had difficulty getting my insurance company to approve Evenity or Prolia and now that I have finally been approved, I don't want to delay things any further. The bottom line is that, as you so well put it, there is no lasting cure, only a delay. I resisted taking any drugs for 8 years since my benchmark DEXA which revealed osteopenia. Now I have severe osteoporosis and I feel like I need to get on with a course of action. The recommended path is 1) Evenity followed by Prolia, or 2) Prolia by itself. Evenity with its black box warning scares me so much that I have put off starting anything for the past 6 months. The second option of Prolia alone may not be as effective in significantly raising my T scores, however it seems to be more widely recommended by friends and physicians. As someone who has always spent a great deal of care taking care of health and staying very active, I dread this decision.
I would greatly appreciated any shared experiences with Evenity and/or Prolia.
