Tracking Results with Evenity

@cat1203 I would be interested to know whether the doctor recommends a drug holiday without alendronate, and for how long, before starting Evenity. Evenity is so new, that little seems to be known. I might also research Forteo and Tymlos after alendronate, since Evenity is anti-resorptive (like alendronate) for the last 6 months. I have seen a chart on all this somewhere and will try to find it!

@windyshores he has not recommended a drug holiday before starting any new anabolic--Forteo and Tymlos also are on the table at this point. It will partly/largely depends on what/which my insurance will cover and what co-pays will be, which is still under investigation. Since alendronate stays in the body so long I'm not sure a drug holiday would help mitigate the "blunt" effect.
