Drug holiday after Tymlos before Evenity

Hi @dooshie congrats on your success with Tymlos! As I recall, you mentioned that you started HRT near or at the end of Tymlos treatment? If so, did you happen to get your bone markers checked before the start of HRT? You could check you bone markers before you leave for vacation to see where they are at. If estrogen suppressed CTX sufficiently, you might be able to get away with this short 'holiday', although generally docs follow Tymlos/Forteo with something. Might worth discussing with your doctor.

@mayblin Thank you…I was pleased with my gains, though my numbers were pretty dismal when I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I’ll take any gains. My new doc ordered bone markers prior to beginning Evenity next month. My cardiologist is the one who ordered my hormones but did not do bone markers prior to beginning. I did have a slight gain of 3.4% in my spine and 2.4% in my hip even after a month off Tymlos before my Dexa in July. So I’m praying this 3-month drug holiday won’t cause me to lose too much of my gains. I’m increasing my bone loading and weight regimen, and hope my new hormone therapy will hold my gains.
I am the one responsible for not beginning another drug before now, as we are heading out of the country for a vacay and I didn’t want to deal with any new side effects while away. We shall see. What a journey we are all on. 🌹
