@hipsalve I found the same experience and also on Forteo (well actually the Teriparatide) for my second round, also 8-9 years later. Did you take a maintenance drug in those 8 years between? If so, what was it? Thanks : ). Nice to hear of someone else doing a second round. What will you do in follow up after this round is completed? May I ask what your current T-scores are?

@broken13 I took Forteo eight years ago as my spine was -3.6, then took Reclast one time. My numbers improved in all locations. My TBS scores were always good. No fractures. A few months ago was in a car accident and fractured T1. I checked a DEXA scan afterwards and it had gone down to -3.6 in my spine again despite doing regular exercise and eating well. I had to do something, and I feel very nervous about Evenity, which is what my doctor preferred I do. I know Evenity is fairly new and want to wait until more data comes out on it. After reading about how Evenity blocks sclerostin, which is cardio-protective, I decided to go on Forteo for a second round. My doctor was completely fine with that. So that’s where I am now. I’ll do Reclast again after Forteo. Then she wants me to do Prolia but I’m not sure I want to do that. I’ve seen a few people doing a second round of Forteo ( or Forteo then Tymlos which is very similar) on this site. How did you come to do a second Forteo round and do you know others who have/ are doing this?
