@curlylocks, @julie2020, @sue225, and others facing similar issues. Good evening ladies. I see that two of you may be facing a medication decision for osteoporosis. We, (post-menopausal females and males with special needs) in an attempt to have stronger bones for longer and happier lives, have a lot of things to consider. What is our starting point, how old are we, what fractures have we already had, how active are we, do we have access to an endocrinologist or an institutional/research facility with an interest in this phase of all women's lives?

There are lots of questions. I have an opportunity this week to find out some answers to questions that pop up frequently. Tymlos or Forteo is just one of those questions. My repetitive question is, and then what? I am just completing my first year of Tymlos. No side effects, no worries about getting it anymore after it was back-ordered during the early COVID days. When will I see improvement....how much? Since I have severe allergies to bisphosphonates......there aren't many options. Evenity.....is a new medication. How does it work and for whom will it be beneficial?

Do you or anyone else who is sharing these posts have general or even specific questions right now? For those of you who are getting DEXA scans this spring what are you seeing? Improvements? Better than expected? Lacking in something?

For those who have chosen exercise and modified natural diets, how is that working at this point? What kinds of encouragement do you see or want to see?

I just thought that since I was facing these issues this week, I would find out a bit about what other women are thinking, questioning and worrying about. I am not easily convinced, one way or the other. I am looking, like you, for evidence of improvement. Help me out here......let me know what you would ask.

May you all have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
