Getting back to the original topic, @zygote, I seriously doubt a knowledgeable doctor would say they were going to prescribe Tymlos for life. Maybe the doctor misspoke, was unclear, or maybe you misheard. Do you have access to notes on the portal?

Some doctors (I have gone to a 4 over the years) will say we need to be on meds for life. A few will say we need to be on Prolia for life (if we are older). My doctor has mentioned drug holidays but the assumption is I will be on meds for a long time.

I honestly sometimes get concerned for a newbie reading this forum. There are many controversies, uncertainties and inadequacies in this field which is, hopefully, evolving. This forum is for sharing personal experience. The key is to have a good doctor to guide you.
