Evenity after Forteo or Tymlos?

@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.

@njx58 wow 15% is great! Did you do the DEXA with the TBS? Otherwise, I don't put a lot of stock in the consistency of DEXA results after my own experiences with regular DEXA.
My doctors felt that I should have had a much better result in the first year - when the MOST gains are made.
There is no evidence of the thigh being the issue. After MUCH intense investigation I could only get "it was never tested so we don't have any comment" from the pharmaceutical manufacturer and a deer in the headlights response from UCSD who told me I COULD do it. That's why I am excited to see what year two brings!
I don't think I will have any problem with insurance. I never had. If there is a reason to write a prior auth I will ask that they do that. However, the NP already indicated they were interested in having me move to Eventity to see if they can stimulate a better response. We'll see when all this comes together at the end of August!
