I’m 65. I’m looking for info regarding Evenity after 2 years of Tymlos. I can’t find any studies or info about this course of therapy. I was also told today by an endocrinologist that you can only take a one year course of Evenity in your lifetime. So, do I build more bone now or save this option for Evenity for the future when I’m older and bones might need more strength.

@mdm30 Hi. I think you'll find a lot of information on this site in regards to the Evenity after Tymlos sequence. You can specifically search for that on this site.
It would be helpful to know when you stopped Tymlos, and if you have been on any other medications for osteoporosis. Has your endocrinologist prescribed Evenity? If you're comfortable doing so, posting your pre- and post-Tymlos DEXA, TBS and bone marker results would be helpful for members to understand what type of information would be most beneficial for you. Evenity has been prescribed for more than one year by some doctors, but at present it is officially approved for one year. Have you discussed what the long-term plan is for you moving forward? It's always good to know why your endocrinologist is recommending a particular treatment plan, what alternatives might be suitable and whether or not a specific medication eliminates the possibility of using certain others in the future.
Hope that helps! Best wishes to you.
