Hi @wudalife2 (and anyone else who’s still around on this 7 month old thread!). Recently, while I was on my 17th month of Tymlos, I took a 24-hour urine calcium test which showed I had a high (364 mg.) calcium level. Though I hated to stop Tymlos early, I decided I’d better before I formed a kidney stone. I am very disappointed to have to stop early, because after one year of Tymlos my Dexa showed great improvements in my spine. I feel blessed to have been able to take it for 17 months, but very disappointed that I couldn’t take it for the full 24.
I wanted to follow-up with Evenity, but my endo was afraid I’d lose most of what I’d gained with Tymlos. I sure would NOT want to do that! He recommended reclast and, as a second choice, alendronate. I chose alendronate and had my first pill on Saturday. He says I need to take at least a year of it before considering going to Evenity. I’ve been bummed about this all week because I know the gains from Evenity will be blunted after I’ve taken alendronate. I just don’t know by how much.
I’m sorry you had to quit taking Tymlos, too, @wudalife2. If you’re still reading this thread let us know what you decided to do. Whatever it is, I hope it worked out well for you.
Take care, @8fish.
