What would you do? Medication.

I was on Forteo for about five months . No side effects. Then on Tymlos for several months. No side effects.
Now on Evenity with no side effects. I feel very lucky.
In May, I go on Reclast. Very anxious about that as it is an annual infusion. 😳

So happy to hear that all of the aforementioned meds are doing/did well for you. Nine months of Tymlos did not go well for me. I’m currently on Evenity (#15/16) and wish I had never heard of Tymlos. I have had one five-year round of Reclast infusions followed by a drug holiday and then two or three more infusions over the course of five + years. I had no issues with Reclast (I started taking it in 2011) in the past and plan to go back to that method of “preservation”, if possible, when I’m finished with the Evenity in July. I do like only needing to worry about meds once a year and the cost is lower because Reclast now has a biosimilar. My doc keeps pushing Prolia or Forteo, not sure why except I read recently that Reclast is not a “forever” maintenance drug. If there are any questions I can perhaps answer for you, please feel free to ask. Cheers!
