What happens after Tymlos?

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.
Chris

I keep hearing about Dr. Wermers. I'm in the Northeast, unfortunately.

Hi Chris! Thank you for your comment. I also have Dr. Wermers and am getting ready to end my two-year treatment with Tymlos in March. He has also recommended Fosamax, which I am leaning towards taking. Did you consider or research any other treatments like Reclast that I see in this post? Do you have a sense of how long you'll stay on Fosamax? Thanks for your help!
