Drug holiday after Tymlos before Evenity

@windyshores Thank you for the info. I have to wait for insurance approval which could likely take a couple of weeks, so I will have to wait until we return at the beginning of October to start Evenity. I have been on bioidentical hormones for 2 months (Estradiol, Progesterone and testosterone) so I’m hoping that possibly, quite possibly that may slow down any bone loss until I begin Evenity. I could have started Evenity earlier but we were traveling and I couldn’t get in to take the 2nd injection.
I feel like I did when I first got diagnosed…a bit lost and concerned. It took me 2 years to agree to take Tymlos and now I have to begin another unknown drug again and only for a year, then another decision after that. If I could have stayed on Tymlos, I would be happy. Doc wanted me on Prolia until I could start Evenity but I passed because of the rebound effects.
How did you do on Reclast?

@dooshie due to kidney and afib issues my doctor is doing 20% test doses with IV hydration and slow infusion for my Reclast. I had a low grade fever and felt unwell for 5 days but otherwise it is going fine. My infusions are every 4 months until the dose goes up, so next week is my second.
Even if you were to lose a little bit (and I have no idea if that is likely) wouldn't Evenity restore it? I hope you can enjoy yourself!
