I’m also trying to decide between prolia or reclast. I have been on tymlos for 10 months and I’m one of the few they call a non responder. My bone markers were tested every 4 months: CTX went from 389 to 485 to 695 and P1NP 42 to 85 to 97. My Dr. consulted with the Tymlos manufacturer’s medical team and another endocrinologist who specializes in bone. They are all saying I need to stop the Tymlos and get a reclast infusion or do prolia for 2 years and follow that with the reclast infusion. Due to being out of the US until
June I have decided to continue Tymlos until I get home and can get another DEXA. Once I see how that compares I will decide on prolia or reclast. My Dr seems to lean more towards the prolia first with a follow up reclast infusion but he wants me to make the final decision. I’m so torn! How does anyone really know if they will or will not suffer from side effects? I’m 67 and try hard to keep up on my on my weight bearing routine but I admit I am not religious on that however I do planks everyday, walk regularly, play some pickle ball, eat healthy and limit alcohol.
Any input on how to decide? I have to do some kind of antiresorptive.

@lurawilson the CTX is a good marker that the Tymlos is not working for you. If you don’t mind me asking what was your last DEXA score? My journey lead to Evenity for a spine t score of -4.6 . I stayed on that for one year and my score went to -3.3 then I had two injections of Prolia then my score went to -3.2. I am now on reclast and will have my next DEXA in August.
