Chrissy. This is a journey of fear.. I know but all I can say is;:
Be your best advocate
Drs have tried to order 5 meds in one visit when I didn’t want the previous one.. different meds do different changes to your bones you need to do research.. osteoblasts.. osteoclasts..
I’m going the holistic way and pray it works..
Best of luck💕 exercise!!!

So far I have not done any infustions or injections. I hope I never need too. I do have osteoporosis in my both hips. I am taking a drug called atelvia that is expensive but I have not had any side effects. It will be 2 years this November. I know other countries are looking into cures for it. I feel that USA is behind.

I was on intravenous infusions of Bisphosphonates for many years.

I no longer receive it anymore as it damaged my jaw bone terribly. I suffered Osteonecrosis of both sides of my jaw.

Now I eat foods rich in calcium and walk daily. Pain is difficult. One minute at a time.

What a great question — and it's one many people with severe osteoporosis face. Both Evenity (romosozumab) and Tymlos (abaloparatide) are powerful medications, but the cost can feel like a barrier. Here are some helpful avenues to explore:

What a great question — and it's one many people with severe osteoporosis face. Both Evenity (romosozumab) and Tymlos (abaloparatide) are powerful medications, but the cost can feel like a barrier. Here are some helpful avenues to explore:

Manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs:
- Evenity is made by Amgen — visit Amgen's website or call them directly to ask about their "Amgen SupportPlus" program
- Tymlos is made by Radius Health — they offer a "Tymlos Together" savings and support program

Other Cost-Saving Options:
- Ask your doctor's office about prior authorization support, which may help with insurance coverage
- Check NeedyMeds.org or RxAssist.org for assistance programs
- Contact your insurance provider to appeal a denial if coverage was refused
- Ask about Medicare Extra Help if applicable to your situation It's also worth having an open conversation with your doctor about which of the two medications might have better coverage under your specific insurance plan — sometimes one is preferred over the other and can make a big difference in out-of-pocket costs.

Don't give up — there are people and programs out there ready to help! 💪
