Tymlos treatment plan - 18 months vs 24

@jasperina, Saving 6 months’ worth of Tymlos for later use makes theoretical sense. However, a shortened course (6mo) may not produce the significant BMD gains you’re hoping for—especially following antiresorptive therapy (Reclast). One alternative to consider in the future is Forteo, which no longer has a 2-year usage limitation. @gently’s approach to extended anabolic use is particularly intriguing and, if proven effective, could reshape long-term osteoporosis management.

The problem, as usual, is the health insurer. Many, perhaps all, still have the restriction "no more than 24 months of Tymlos or Forteo", unless you have shown that you are still at a high risk of fracture / T-scores still bad.
