Just Finished 18 mos on Tymlos and....

You have definitely been through it! Congratulations on improving your bone quality. I have improved on Tymlos as well, I’m almost 9 months in so far. My doctor is THE bone doc in the Central Florida area, and it was a miracle that I was able to become her patient. She has told me previously a Reclast infusion after Tymlos is done (1 or 2) then a medication holiday and close eye on. I hope you get your answers and continue to get stronger!!

I have heard of the "holiday" but am leary of it.
My bone doctor said my sudden drop in density was caused by stopping prolia in preperation for a dental implant.
I was being treated by my GYN and was told by her PA to go off the Prolia before the dental work, then get my next shot immediately after. I was due for my six month dose, a few weeks after the dental work. In that short time my bones
weakened dramatically. A trip to the ER showed a fracture, I had surgery on that one. Then four more fractures immediately after.
For that reason, I'm petrified of a "holiday". But I cannot stay on the Tymlos longer than two years.
I now see a bone specialist and am anxious to know what treatment she advises post Tymlos. I've heard reclast can be a once a year drip or twice a year injection. I'd love once a year. Is that for the rest of your life or is there a maximum time for Reclast also?
