Reclast: Poor Result...Next steps

Hi everyone, so although my CTX and P1NP were exactly at the "benchmark" in June my second comparative DEXA with TBS software analysis was "disappointing." I only had a 1.3% gain in bone density where my team expects 6 -8% in my lumbar (L1-L2) this year. I had a slight decline in my radius (wrist). I had one reclast and then almost a year and a half of TYMLOS. They are going to check with my Orthopedic doctor and if it is okay they will move me to EVENITY. My NP said that this happens (although I never thought it would happen to me!) that people respond to different drugs because of the mechanisms being different. Since I get my healthcare at UC Health (a medical research university center) I'm going to trust that they have a large pool of patients to draw from for successes and failures on the bone med protocols. I like to finish what I start, but if we need to change-up and there's something better than I'm game!

Time really flies @loriesco, it’s hard to believe you’ve been on Tymlos that long already. I do wonder if the prior Reclast might have played a role in the limited BMD change. It makes sense that Evenity has come up as a possible next step, since more people are using that approach to give bone building an extra boost. It sounds like you’ve got a thoughtful team carefully considering the options. Wishing you the best with whatever comes next.
