@lisainfl So she thought it worked better than Reclast? Mine had said as for as fracture prevention they were about equal after 1 year - despite any comparative BMD. It was a tough decision for me. I will likely do 1 year then follow with a year or two with Reclast. Save the second year since we only get 2 years lifetime use. Thanks for sharing!

I was on Forteo for two years and saw a big jump in bone density. My doctor then put me on reclast infusion. It maintained the increase, but did not show any additional improvement. I am now on Prolia. If you get approved for Tymlos or Forteo, I recommend that you do it for the full two years. You might not get approved for it again or your insurance might change.--you never know.
