High anxiety regarding Reclast or Prolia decison for OP meds

255anny,
if I were in your situation I would take Tymlos. It is an anabolic very like Forteo, but thought to be more effective than Forteo in the spine.
windyshoes' interesting speculation that perhaps the increase from a new medication may supercede whatever loss there might be with the relay drug. ( Windyshores is an experienced Tymlos user and offers invaluable advice about taking the medication. )
I applaud your fears about the pharmaceuticals osteoporosis patients are sometimes pressured to take.
If I encountered resistance to efforts to obtain Tymlos, I would happily take a second round of Forteo. Oh, said to be "as robust as the first."
I would definitely want P1NP and CTX before and two months in with Tymlos to ascertain that it is working.
I'm not addressing any "need" for advice to take Prolia/Evenity/Prolia, but listen to yourself.
Bless your choice.
gently

@gently you presented a thought provoking path! Good studies for either pth analog to evenity or evenity to pth analog are almost non-existent. The serial anabolic exposure from pth analog to evenity to pth analog calls for a veteran bone specialist's attention. A bold yet innovative idea to say the least. Are there any conceptual bases to back it up? Or, do you see a clear advantage in the absence of an antiresorptive (either reclast or prolia in this case), given anny's need for a quick boost in bmd (hence a reduction of her very high frax score) in a short periods of time?
Curiously, do you think toggling between tymlos and forteo could enhance anabolic effects given their differences in receptor binding?

Can you take Tymlos after Evenity? I had Forteo before the Evenity.
