This is interesting, as my endo recently started pushing me to start Evenity for one year, then Reclast thereafter... and I just got Medicare Part B. I have been wondering why she suddenly got pushy about meds (she knows I'm medication averse); I thought it was because she's now in a practice with other endocrinologists, whereas before, she was in a practice with dermatologists who didn't have anything useful to share over the lunch table. I imagine that her new group are Evenity acolytes, and she drank the Kool-aid.

In two weeks, I'm getting a second opinion from a rheumatologist who started his own osteoporosis clinic years ago, and who is now a professor at a highly respected medical university. I'm excited to hear what he has to say. My spine is -3.4, which my endo says is "scary," but I'm a follower of McCormick's concept that "bone density by itself is not a reliable indicator for fracture risk." So far, so good, that has held up for me (knock on wood).

@wilkenl have you had a consultation with Dr. McCormick? I am only speculating but for a DEXA of -3.4 he might suggest Evenity, Tymlos or Forteo.
