@gently My DR says 2 years of Tymlos and 1 Year of Alendronate...I have not started yet because I wanted to give myself a moth off of the prednisone to recover a little. I am not sure what my T scores are today and I was thinking it would be a good idea to take them along with P1np and CTX. My concern is that everyone seems to be on some therapy for soooo long. Is what my DR said about 3 years total going to work or will I just be caught up on the drug train for longer? THANK YOU!

sophie, both Tymlos and alendronate leave you better off even after you stop taking them than if you'd be if you'd never taken them.
For me, osteoporosis medications will be life long.
Knowing your bone markers and your T scores will give a better idea about whether we are on the same train
It isn't as burdensome as it this never ending task of eating, though If you've already lost a lot
Some with osteoporosis are manage with lifestyle changes and supplements and some with HRT.
I'll never take the risk of fracture. The pain medication station is the worst.
You're smart to take the break between prednisone and Tymlos. I hope the headaches are gone.
