Hi @anewyorker very nice results for one year treatment of Tymlos, i'm happy for you! You mentioned that you were on prolia before tymlos. Were there any drug holiday in between the two meds? Or, did you start tymlos 6 months after the last shot of prolia? Thanks

Hi mayblin. To answer your questions: no, there was no drug holiday between the Prolia and the Tymlos. I'm aware now that there is research suggesting that it's not a good idea to go on Tymlos directly from Prolia, but it doesn't seem to have been a problem for me.

I have no explanation for why I seem to have exceeded expectations on this. I'm going to see my endo in a few weeks, and I plan to ask her if she has a theory. She is the director of the Bone Metabolism Program in the Division of Endocrinology at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York, and much of her practice is treating osteoporosis, so I doubt she's not aware of the literature. I'll be interested in hearing what she has to say.
