Hello there. Welcome to the joinery of no sure answers as everyone is a bit different. I have no experience with Tymlos and was not offered that as an option. I wonder if that is more popular in the States? I am in Canada. My T-score was -3.5 and I had experienced 13 consecutive compression fractures in my spine when I went on Forteo. It literally saved my life. That was 8 years ago and I have not fractured since. Now I am need of another booster and had hoped to start Evenity, but still waiting for approval. I have researched and heard very good things about it on this site about Evenity. For some reason, Forteo was approved, and even though I already did the 24 months of it before, I have agreed to 6 months while I await approval for the Evenity. This time I went with generic brand of Forteo and find no difference to when I was on brand name. In fact, perhaps less initial side effect of mild headache and upset stomach. Forteo provided a travel case with refreezable ice pack to pick up from pharmacy for travel. Generic brand did not, but pharmacy just gives you a freezer pouch to get you home with. Hope that helps. : ). I am now 66 yrs old and very active with 6 grandchildren!

Hi broken13, would you please tell us what you did after your first 2 years on Forteo. I’m curious to know if you stopped all osteoporosis medication until you recently started back on Forteo waiting for Evenity approval. Also if you do get the Evenity approval what is the plan after your year of Evenity? Thanks
