Hi @artscaping I'm a little confused. Did you move to Prolia for a reason or it was 'just time'? As said above after such a good, long run with Prolia I hate to give it up. Evenity is in the mix in making a decision, one I'm truly agonizing over. This group has saved my sanity for the few weeks I've been a part of it—I'm SO grateful to everyone here! Were you ever on Evenity yourself or just the Tymlos and now Prolia? Many Thanks!

Good evening........thanks for your comment. Let's see if I can do a better job of explaining.
1. I began with a bisphosphonate, Boniva, and had terrible side effects, especially in my jaw. Sometimes it was so bad I would have happily endured having all my teeth pulled. So I had to move to something less dangerous for me. That was a choice between Forteo and Tymlos. I chose Tymlos and stayed for two years during which I was able to reduce the osteoporosis to the osteopenia realm. What came next was not a difficult decision.....I had to choose Prolia as it was the only option that was not a bisphosphonate.. I am approaching one year on Prolia and having the same results.... jaw pain. My clinician and I are researching other options........and will make a shared decision in a few weeks.

This is a very difficult situation and I need all the help I can get. What about Evista? Do you know anything about that option? Neither do I but I am determined to find out. My other option is to take a chance on Evenity for a year or so. Although it isn't known to maintain the level of bone development features, it will still prevent reabsorption.

May you be free, safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
