You might consider Forteo again. The second application is said to be as robust as the first. You know how it affects you. And you don't have to worry about osteonecrosis with Forteo. Tymlos would be another good choice. I prefer Forteo because it is a lesser dose without preservatives. The black box warning limiting you to two years has been removed.
You may be offered Evenity or Prolia, best not. But Forteo is better.
I've been taking since April at 72. I so like this drug.
Best luck!

Thank you! I was leaning towards Tymlos because I heard there were less side effects, but I think I tolerated Forteo well the first time, and I like no preservatives. I think my mediocre bone building results may have been due to my frequent ibuprophen use. My daughter sent me an article stating ibuprophen could even increase bone loss if taken with Fosamax. I took it for muscle and tendon issues I attributed to my job. (I'm retired now and never take it anymore.)
