Prescribed Tymlos after Evenity

@laujodrik I would ask your doctor these questions:
1) Do they think Tymlos (or Forteo) will handle Prolia rebound? (I forget how long you were on and how long ago you stopped.)
2) Do they think Tymlos (or Forteo) will be effective after Prolia ? (Again I forget when you stopped.)
Basically will these meds at least prevent further loss while you deal with dental issues?
After reading Keith McCormick's books "Great Bones" and watching various videos, including those of Dr. Ben Leder (MGH researcher and endo) I am passing along those concerns. Both say that Forteo and Tymlos are not especially effective after Prolia but your doctor should be up on the latest. Not sure if that means bone loss or staying at the same level.
And for Prolia rebound, bisphosphonates are recommended by my doctors (though Evenity has been posted here as a possibility). With dental issues after Prolia folks are truly in a between a rock and a hard place position. Sorry to raise troubling questions and of course rely on your doctor for discussion and answers.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I have a choice. I still have osteoporosis being on Prolia for 4 years. Mainly in my forearms. It’s difficult, or so I’ve been told, to have an accurate bone density of your spine once arthritis kicks in. My hip is osteopenia. I’m usually an avid reader about the meds I go on. I didn’t do much research transitioning from Prolia to Tymlos/Forteo. I was always a healthy eater, and worked out for hours. Osteoporosis runs in my family and I have read that it is genetic. My mother was a dancer and a swimmer all her life and she had osteoporosis as well. Not given a choice I may have to take my chances that I’ll some success on one of those drugs. Getting older is challenging. I’m always optimistic, this has gotten me a bit down. I’ve been off Prolia 2 weeks. It will be a total of 5 when I have an appointment. I will ask her about the rebound you expressed. They have found a cyst on one of my sinuses which can be my cause of my jaw hurting. If that’s the case she’ll put me on Evenity. I have an appointment with an ENT Dr Tuesday. I can’t take the chance if it effecting my jaw if it’s from the Prolia. Thank you for responding. I’m very pleased with all the responses I’ve received.
