Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Hi there…..I was on Tymlos for 2 years exactly. I understood that there end of 18 months was the best time for the transfer but I had not made up my mind about Prolia, even though it was my only choice because of severe reactions to Bonniva and the other options. I spent quite a bit of time talking to the medical professionals at Amgen, the manufacturer of Prolia about testing results across the board. Only 10% on average, had serious side effects. I was still worried that I would be in that 10%. The research department was helpful in pushing me over the edge. I also learned what to do if I had immediate side effects with Prolia.
If you would like to connect with Amgen….let me know and I will respond with the direct phone number.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

@artscaping Trying to figure out the next step after Tymlos is difficult. Reclast has been suggested but I hate the thought of it being in my system for a year if things don't go well. I am only in my 5th month though so I have time to decide.
@windyshores If you are on Medicare the grants that many people have are not available to you. The only assistance you can get is if your income is under $60,000 a year. Those of us in that vast middle have to pay the large copay, generally about $560 a month for Tymlos, more for Forteo.
