My humble understanding is that tymlos 'pushes - forces' the osteoblasts to build bone. After 16/18/22 months these cells do not respond as well to the medication. The osteoclasts are ramped up to 'dismantle bone' and this makes the 'bone coupling' ( 'building' compared to 'dismantling') out of sync.
Hopefully you have been keeping track of P1NP and CTX- bone markers. The 'bone building' rates can be checked thru bone makers ( P1NP ). When this result starts to wane compared to your history, then the medication is losing effectiveness. Tymlos is then stopped; a medication is given immediately for a short time to maintain the gains. Do not skip this step. I repeat do not skip this step. TYmlos was just apporved to be given again - how effective this is depends on many issues including bone markers and dexa and tbs. Make sure your endo is a BONE specialist. May you get good guidance and restore your bones to strenght and vitality.

After stopping Tymlos, what are the med choices to take afterwards? My endo said either Prolia or Reclast. But would Fosamax be an option? I'd prefer that vs an injection or infusion with the many side effects I've read about.
