@isabelle7 we generally do either Tymlos or Forteo, which are similar, OR Evenity though a few have done Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos. There is no data on that as yet. We all do Reclast or Fosamax or other bisphosphonate after these other drugs to "lock in" gains. It seems complicated, I know, but there aren't that many options honestly! The effects of steroids are complicated though and I hope things get better for him.

Thank you!! You made something that seemed so complicated simple. I really appreciate your response. Prednisone has been both a miracle and a curse. Without it he might not be here, or he could have become blind or had a number of other horrible things happen to him. So we deal with the nasty side-effects and pray they go away once he’s off it. With osteoporosis it’s not that easy. It doesn’t just resolve once he’s done. As you all well know.
