A year on Tymlos . . .

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.

Yes, studies indicated prolia followed by tymlos/forteo was not a good idea as evidenced by loss of bmd. But that doesn't matter, it worked for you and that is wonderful! I wonder if your prior use of fosamax was a factor. Could you keep us updated as to what your endo has to say about this?
