Tymlos, then Evenity, then Reclast?

@janism , I am on the same path as you. Currently on Tymlos (at my 18th month), plan to take it for two years, then fight with insurance for Evenity approval before moving to Reclast to lock in gains.

I'm also working with a PA and totally agree that many RNs and PAs are better listeners and more patient-centered. Any tips for how yours got Evenity approved? I am 56 and want to build more bone before locking in gains, but anticipate insurance resistance because I have moved to "just" having osteopenia now. My osteoporosis is progressive, but the concern is that my T-scores will currently look too good for Evenity approval.

Best of luck to you on your journey, and please keep posting updates. I will share my final DEXA results when I get them, too.

Hi, I'm currently on my second month of Tymlos. No major side effects yet although I question my decision to take it everyday (spine score -3.2). Just wondering how you feel about Tymlos after 18 months? I'm also worried about the follow up (Evenity, Reclast, etc) and basically being on meds for the foreseeable future. I'm 64. Still researching and getting more testing (TBS, REMS, bone markers). The PA I'm working with ran all the necessary blood work which was fine. My osteoporosis is likely due to menopause, not taking HRT and (to be honest) not having the best diet in my younger years.
