laujodrik, you're in a tough position. I have a couple of suggestions just to think about. Prolia and Tymlos work well together. Better than either alone. If you started Tymlos it would have more positive effect and protect you as well. Tymlos is also the drug that is given to treat osteonecrosis. So you'd be in good stead. Tymlos is not the best medication to counteract rebound. You might ask your prescribing physician to secure a free pen from the Radius Health representative and begin the approval process from your insurance.
If you have side effects from Tymlos, you'll take something else. It moves through your system in a 24 hour period. You wouldn't suffer long. Fingers crossed that you don't have osteonecrosis. Post us your results.

I am confused. I looked up Radius Health and that is Tymlos. I was already approved for Tymlos from my insurance company. It’s expensive, but with the $2,000.00 cap, which may be just Medicare I should be ok. You’re saying Prolia works well with Tymlos. I was told by my rheumatologist if I take Tymlos to close to being off Prolia I can get a rebound and be in worse shape. That’s one of the reasons why I waited 4 months. What else can I take? Forteo is the only other drug if I have osteocronosis. I’m praying I don’t. If that’s the case you can go on Tymlos until my surgery is healed and then Prolia. I’m not sure why the reverse is bad. Thanks for your input.
