Good afternoon, @becsbuddy, @colleenyoung. I need a little help here. My understanding is that Fosamax holds your bones the way they are when you start taking it. Forteo and Tymlos build bone. Once you get the bone back, then is the time for Fosamax or another biosphosphonate to keep it where it is now after 2 years of building. I have also been told by my Endocrinologist that the work to build bone lasts two years. In other words....you have 2 years of taking nothing until the new bone begins to age.

May you be content and with ease
Chris
