@sunny65 my doctor wanted me to wait, as I said. I assume your doctor is at least having you wait a month after your Evenity shot. Is that right?

Bottom line would seem to be avoiding interaction between the two. Half life of Evenity is 12.8 days so waiting a month after the shot would be good based on that- so that Evenity is out of the system, but confirm with MD.

ps Just remembered that Evenity can be taken with an interval of up to 6 weeks! So 6 weeks from the last shot should be okay. You can discuss this with your doctor!

My world class endo said it takes awhile for Evenity to mineralize so he okayed waiting two months after the last shot, before doing Reclast. Since Evenity is new (2019) and the transition to Tymlos is unusual, it seems noone really knows for sure.

Bottom line: Tymlos worked well for me and I hope it works well for you regardless of timing. If it were me, I would split the difference (Don't you have another provider suggesting longer?) and do Tymlos 5-6 weeks after the last Evenity but that is NOT medical advice. I hope you can ask your endo what consequences they see from waiting an additional week or two. Let us know because we are all learning!

Hello @windyshores , my doctor didn’t even asked when I had last Evenity shot. He just told me to start .I think that I go with what pharmacist advised to me . She also have mentioned 6 weeks waiting period.. I wish I don’t have that terrible back pain and was able to think clearly. Not sure what kind of harm Tymlos after Evenity can do. All I know that my bone density is severe and I need to improve it somehow. I remember you discussing about different thinner needles. I am not sure what I am getting with Tymlos yet, but thinner probably would be better for my small 100 lbs frame. Should I request them from specialty pharmacy? Or just find on my own? I always appreciate your advice.
