What happens after Tymlos?

@katwhisperer My rheumatologist is suggesting the exact same thing. I am 64 and have longevity in my family. Prolia sounds like a life sentence with significant draw backs. Every time I press my rheumatologist on the downside of Prolia he downplays side effects entirely. Tells me I have a 20% chance of being wheel chair bound within 5 years and it’s just hard for me to believe. I’ve always had good conditioning; my main sin is that I am small and small women seem to be afflicted with this condition the most. Hoping an alternative comes up to Prolia before the end of Tymlos. I live in a medical black hole out here so there really isn’t a way to get a second opinion unless I am willing to travel extensively.

I too live in a medical black hole. I found great comfort and confidence with Keith Mccormick. Well worth the consultation fee. Sent in my blood work first. Also read his book Great Bone first so I could ask better educated questions.
Be aggressive with your Doctors. Get the tests,referrals, whatever you need so you feel good with YOUR decision. Best of luck.
