Forteo or Evenity - which to take?

@gb76 Forteo and Tymlos are very similar. I believe Tymlos is slightly better for spine. I chose it because the dose pen is adjustable.
I am surprised that your mother did so well without following up with a bisphosphonate to "lock in" gains. I have been told that without that, bone loss recurs and I would lose any progress I have had, and some posters here have had that experience.
Reclast isn't really a step down drug so much as a drug to seal the new bone, from what I have been told. And I may only need one or two doses with monitoring.

I have been researching all of these options before my follow up visit with Endocrinologist in 10 days. She wants me to start Evenity for 1 year and then to Prolia. I do not want to do Prolia, because once you start, you can't stop.
The osteoporosis in my spine is -3.1 and I have never had any fractures in my life. Just turned 70 last week and I am very active, also joined a gym (2 months ago) which I go to 2-3 times per week.
All of your posts have been very informative and I am hoping to come up with an option that I can live with and that my insurance will cover. Fingers crossed!
