Glad I found this thread. I'm still in the first year of Tymlos, but I'm starting to look ahead to the next phase. I do consult with Dr. McCormick. Everything I've read so far makes me nervous about using Prolia after Tymlos, even for a limited time. The unfortunate reality is that there is no one magic drug, and anything we take has pros and cons.

Good evening @njx58. I think I read your comment correctly. And.....you are a lot like me.....wanting to do my research ahead of the actual decision time. I had a sad and somewhat painful experience with Prolia after a successful result from two years on Tymlos. I ended up with jaw pain and general discomfort from my first year on Prolia. Thank goodness, I found an endocrinologist, Dr. Wermers at the Mayo Clinic.
After his diagnosis and research, he recommended that I not start year two on Prolia but instead choose to migrate to Alendronate (Fosamax). The results have included successful dexa scores after two years and no side effects of any kind.
May you find a solution that can help you avoid nervousness.
