@aliber your DEXA score isn't that bad. It is definitely good to see an endocrinologist because GP's tend to prescribe bisphosphonates or Prolia.

Meds for GERD can affect absorption of nutrients and can contribute to osteoporosis. If you are on Prilosec, you can get off it by using Pepcid instead then tapering 🙂 My doc helped me with that.

@madeleine40 do you qualify for Radius Assist for free Tymlos? I have a Medicare Advantage plan through BC/BS that is covering my last months. You could try to get coverage with your current plan if the doc would write that you need the adjustable dose-? But if copay is high, that is still a problem!

My endo won't use Prolia unless he absolutely has no choice due to the difficulties in getting off.
