Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos?

I didn't do well on my first year of Tymlos. They offered me Eventity. I am finishing up the second year of Tymlos in 2 months and will take the next DEXA and figure it out. The plan was to return to the RECLAST (I had one infusion before starting). IF my DEXA results are great, I might ask for one more year on Tymlos because I was injecting in the thigh the first year and only had a 1.6% positive change, when I should have had a 6.8% positive change. I felt that injecting in the thigh was the reason I didn't get the great response in the first year of Tymlos.
Make sure you are testing on a DEXA with TBS to be the most accurate year to year. My P1NP/CTX numbers were right in line.

@loriesco "I felt that injecting in the thigh was the reason I didn't get the great response in the first year of Tymlos." What is the evidence for this? Some people do not respond well to Tymlos, period. 6.8% is just an average. You had 1.6%, I had 15%. It's a wide range. Hopefully you did better in the second year.
I wish you luck getting the insurer to cover a third year of Tymlos. Their default position is two years for Forteo and Tymlos, and they'll have to be convinced by a doctor that a third year is necessary. You know how insurers can be frustrating.
