I’m only 9 months into Tymlos and recently had bone markers done. Very little increase in both p1np and ctx. From what I’ve read the 18 month mark is the best. Yes, it’s very expensive but, personally, I will continue as there aren’t many other options for me. From reading some posts, Tymlos treatment time may be extended beyond the 2 years. What will you transition to after Tymlos?

Thanks for chiming in YMV - really appreciate you sharing your experience.

No bone markers were done, so just going by the DXA. You wisely asked the same "what's next" as others - and my reply is "um - I'm not sure!"

Maybe exploring switch to Forteo (I tolerate meds well so switching may not cause problems.) But I'm already approved for Tymlos: not sure if I'd be approved by my insurance to switch or if it would be a hassle to get reauthorized. (I'm on employer insurance.)

Or maybe give Tymlos 6 more months - based upon what windyshores and mayblin have mentioned. At worst, I'd hopefully maintain vs lose more.
