Hello @hollygs . Thank you so much for your kindness and reply. Yes, I am in a very tough situation. Never expected nothing like this. I been working with pain specialist and he tried a few things which all failed and made me worse. My pain is none stop and all my medical team don’t offer anything but Tramadol and now Norco ( I didn’t take this yet). But Tramadol doesn’t work anymore. I never took anything like this before and it makes my stomach very upset. My hands are shaking and I really don’t know where this all is going. My endocrinologist told me that I can start Tymlos right after finishing Evenity. I was looking for information everywhere and not much studies done. The most doctors offering the opposite. Tymlos and then Evenity. I been searching if anyone in this group has any experience with this kind of sequence. Thanks God you wrote to me. My -5.1 T score is very scary. Please tell me how soon you started Tymlos after Evenity and what was the outcome. It is very hard to live with this pain. I was very active and outgoing and for the past 7 months I stopped going anywhere except doctor’s appointments and this is very sad and depressing. Thanks again for any advice and input.

@sunny65 It sounds like you've been very proactive about your care, and that's wonderful! I was put on Fosamax after Evenity by a new-to-me endo, but I had been told by my previous metabolic bone specialist that he would put me on Tymlos after Evenity. I switched back to him and started Tymlos 6 months after stopping Evenity. This delay was because it took a while to see the doctor and then to have Tymlos approved by my insurance. I responded well to Evenity and my T score went from - 4.5 to - 3.2. I won't know anything about how the Tymlos worked until my next DTX, and even then everything is relative and long-term improvement is the goal. I have read that the usual interval after Evenity is 4 weeks, but I have not heard that from a medical proessional so am not sure. Your labs and a new DTX will inform your doctor about your response to Evenity. You are correct, there is very little information available about the use of Tymlos after Evenity. As I previously mentioned on this thread, I contacted the manufacturers of both drugs and was told that currently there are no studies available about the Evenity >>Tymlos sequence. I will say that at a certain point, I was extremely stressed out about all of this. I had a painful spinal fracture, multiple rib fractures, bone marrow edema and fractures in one foot and other conditions. I could barely get around and yet I was going from doctor to doctor to labs, radiology, PT, OT and so
on. Finally, one day I paused and realized that the stress was making me worse. I could barely function, I was exhausted and I couldn't do all of this. I decided to eliminate stress, and relax as much as possible. I took a break from all the medical stuff except getting the Evenity once a month, listened to music, meditated and focused on positive things and eventually I was calm, not overwhelmed and better able to proceed with my life. I hope you will gift yourself compassion and kindness. You're handling an awful lot, and you've been very strong. You don't need to carry it all the time.

According to my doctor, 6-8 weeks wait after Evenity for another drug.
And I was told I could stop Evenity early since it is not anabolic the whole time.
I hope you can discuss with your doctor!
