@dooshie I am doing Evenity after Tymlos. I had to convince my doc!

Also, in place of Fosamax, you can do Reclast infusions. I am going to do a low dose with lots of hydration and tylenol: 20% dose every 3-6 months.

Michael Lavacot is on Prolia I believe. A lot of us are avoiding that. Maybe he is just doing 2-3 shots which some docs are now saying means less rebound.

I’m pretty hesitant in a 3 or 6 month infusion. At least with a daily injection, if side effects are bad, I can stop. Can’t do much with an infusion that last months. I’m avoiding Prolia for certain but will try the bioidentical hormones and then do another bone marker to see if they’re working. I don’t want to lose the gains I move had. Please let me know how the Reclast works out for you. Rose

@windyshores you are lucky you have a doctor who will agree to 20% reclast every 3 months or so. When are you doing that? I’ll be very interested in the outcome, as I may propose it to my endocrinologist after my two years on teriparatide is up!!! BTW, my first four days of injections have been side effect free🥳. Just a little redness around the injection site and burning eyes for an hour or so the first day. Even those minor ones are gone now!!!
