Hi - I am a 50 yr old, female with Crohn's. Diagnosed 12 years ago. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis (spine T-score -2.7; left hip -2.1; right hip -2.6). I took prednisone for Crohn's disease when first diagnosed. I take calcium supplements, but do not consume much calcium. My Crohn's disease has been quite severe, leading to severe malnutrition and surgery to remove part of my intestine. I currently take Humira which seems to be working.
My question - Are any folks taking any of the bone building medications, such as Forteo, Tymlos, or Evinity for osteoporosis? Any feedback? My GI and PCP said that any of the medications would be fine for me to take. The endocrinologist suggested an injection, instead of a pill given my active Crohn's.
Thank you in advance for any feedback of your experiences!
