I did not have pain on Tymlos. I have had pain on Evenity and to a lesser extent, Reclast.

I stopped Evenity at 4 months because that was the anabolic (bone building) period and the rest is anti-resorptive according to my doctors and reading. So I don't see why someone could not stop early and that was something my doctor supported.

I wish we knew what happens when Tymlos is done after Evenity. There seem to be no studies. Let us know!

Hi @windyshores . I went to endocrinologist, doctor who specializes in osteoporosis and fractures and rheumatologist . Endocrinologist told me that I can use Tymlos after Evenity ( he thought that Evenity is just 2 years on market when in fact is five). I just guessed that he doesn’t prescribe this drug often maybe never. Osteoporosis specialist told me to stay on Evenity all 12 months and then switch to Tymlos) and Rheumatologist didn’t know what kind of drug Eventy was. Besides he prescribed me a few of various pain medications which are not advised to mix . My stomach can’t handle Tramadol anymore .The back pain is so intense after 6th shot. I even called Amgen today and talked to nice lady - she knew about Evenity but what drug is the best to follow with she didn’t know.
All I am reading that if someone is on Evenity and want to follow with Tymlos suppose to be at least 64 days break or go on something else like Fosomax for a while and then go on Tymlos . Not sure if this is good idea for me with my -5.1 T score. I even wrote a letter to endocrinologist to look at the sequence very carefully and advise me what to do next. I am not even sure if this goes to him or nurse. I know that I am becoming my own doctor and this is very sad. If I just was able to find something that helped me with this crazy back pain and I can do some exercises. I tried a lot of pain pills, patches, ice, heat, therapy and nothing helped. I also tried breathing exercises and pain counseling. Am I missing something?
