As you may know @ans I did two years Tymlos with excellent gains. Spine gained 20%, went from severe to borderline, hip gained 9%, but femur neck went from -4/1 to -3.6 and I wanted a last boost from Evenity so I have done 4 months (full dose, half dose, half dose, full dose).I am having an unusual reaction to Evenity (burning, prickly) and will probably stop there. I may ask for a DEXA and would pay out of pocket. My last one was a year ago. It would be great if I could share results from this sequence. My P1NP did not show bone growth and CTX has remained low.
Next step, as doctor's suggestion, is 1 mg Reclast (20% dose), IV hydration, slow infusion, with tylenol. I let him know in a month how I did and I can determine the dose I want for an infusion at 3 months (or even 6 months). This is basically like having liquid Fosamax only bypassing the GI tract.

windyshores,
When do you have your Reclast infusion? Mine is scheduled for June. Anxious, of course.
I have bounced back and forth between endocrinologist and rheumatologist as each of them alienates me. 🙂
Both of them prescribed Evenity and then Reclast. They also know each other.
The good thing, I know, is that they are in agreement.
After the endocrinologist recently made me angry, I returned to the rheumatologist who was more engaged. This created an internal conflict in which I agonized over which doctor to stick with. Good grief. So, I think I will see both of them. The rheumatologist is going to administer the Reclast in his office.
