What would you do? Medication.

I took 5 years of Reclast without any issues, 2 years of Prolia without side effects. However, I had 2 spontaneous fractures while on Prolia so technically I failed it. Started Tymlos in June with minimal side effects now that my body is used to it. The big question for me is what medication do I transition to after Tymlos? Seeing a new endocrinologist today who, hopefully, will manage my op.

Is anyone here doing telehealth with an op specialist at Mayo Clinic? If so, how is it working out? Was it challenging to obtain an appointment?

"what medication do I transition to..." is the million dollar question. I heard an endocrinologist from Harvard talk about this very thing and he said we need to have a life plan that could last us 30 years. I don't think many doctors have a 5 year plan, much less beyond. That's the scariest part for me about starting medication (a tie with side effects). What journey am I launching myself into? I don't think anyone knows - it's a bit of a crap shoot into the dark.

I didn't know the Mayo Clinic offered telehealth appointments. I hope someone here has tried that and weighs in. Thank you for mentioning.
