Thank you all for the responses, they’re very helpful. A little more info. I’m 64 years old, have diabetes, and receive an immunosuppressant infusion for another condition. So I’m also concerned about suppressing my immune system too much by adding Prolia.
My endo has said that Tymlos is for 18 mos., but I see that a couple of you have done it for two years. Doc was almost adamant that I start on something right after Tymlos, and I get that. Eighteen months is almost up. Maybe I should ask about extending my treatment with it for a few more months and get a second opinion?
Thanks again.

Are you able to take HRT? @teb on this forum has maintained for five years after taking Forteo, I believe.
My doctor said 2 years on Tymlos was the limit so that's where I am right now. He wanted me to start on prolia but I am getting a tooth implant so I don't want to take a chance with that drug. I have a prescription for Evista and supposed to start this month. Hoping to find information on this site about Evista before I start.
@alknapp, wondering what you decided and how you are doing.

This variation in Tymlos timeframe puzzles me as well - some doc say 18 months. Others say it's a 2 year regimen. And I haven't heard any deeper details that explain what factors or influences determine the difference in treatment length. My doc definitely states "2 years".
